Born in Brampton, Ontario, AHI grew up in a traditional West Indian family where music was considered diversionary entertainment rather than a viable career path. And during his self-guided musical learning and travels, he had a spiritual awakening and adopted the name AHI (pronounced “eye”), drawing the letters from his initials (Ahkinoah Habah Izarh) and embracing the double entendre of the word, which also means “brother” in Hebrew.

If you take just one thing from AHI’s music, let it be this: you are not alone.“No matter how low, no matter how defeated you may feel, you’re never really on your own in this world,” he explains. “We’re all connected to each other, and when you find your calling and your purpose and you tap into those connections, beautiful things start to happen.” Prospect, AHI’s extraordinary new album, is proof of that.

In 1899 she married Reverend Peter William Anderson (1870-1936), with whom she had three children. The vocation of clergyman's wife led to Clara's discovery of her own creativity through the writing of more than a dozen light-hearted plays that were produced as fund-raising events for the Ladies' Aid Societies of her husband's Presbyterian congregations. Her first skit, AN OLD TIME LADIES' AID BUSINESS MEETING AT MOHAWK CROSSROADS (1912) was whipped up in a mere two days. Fearing that the conservative citizens of Shelburne, Ontario, might object to stage costumes, her amateur actors performed the piece in their street clothes. A great success, the play was staged throughout rural Ontario and eventually across Canada.

After receiving a master’s degree from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA (1953), he worked in New York (1953–6). In 1956 he returned to Japan and opened his own office in Tokyo.

He developed the use of split levels or ‘skip’ floors to combine spaces of various sizes, earning him the Architectural Institute of Japan prize in 1960. The Sony building (1966), Tokyo, was designed as a cubic spiral of skip floors, creating organic spatial continuity throughout the building with spaces that interrelate with each other and with their environment. A similar concept was used for the Japanese pavilion at Expo ’67 in Montreal, for which he received an award from the Ministry of Education. The continuity and flow of space between interior and exterior, and in the spaces between buildings, were also addressed, for example in the Komazawa Olympic Gymnasium (1964), Tokyo, which received a special award from the Architectural Institute of Japan.
