AIS

2022 saw this Dublin-based Irish-Ghanian musician teaming up with Craig Cooney for ‘Space Bound’ – her first new release since her 2021 EP, Freedom. Using elements of pop, soul and R&B, the up-tempo number demands repeat plays. Having previously issued tracks such as ‘Glitter Gold’, ‘Move My Feet Again’ and ‘Labels’, AIS’ music explores subjects like growing up biracial in a predominantly white society, as well as love and self-worth. AIS studied Music and English at Maynooth University until 2018, and has been performing on the Dublin scene ever since.
