Biography
AI (sinh ngày 02.11.1981, tên thật là Ai Carina Uemura) là một ca sĩ Nhật Bản. Cô đc sinh tại Los Angeles, US với cha là ng` Nhật và mẹ mang 2 dòng máu giữa Nhật và Ý. Cô đã dành cả tuổi thơ tại quê cha là Kagoshima Nhật Bản.Ai chuyển đến Los Angeles với tư cách đi huấn luyện biểu diễnc huyên nghiệp. Năm 17 tuổi, AI đã từng xuất hiện với vai trò là dancer trong music video của Janet Jackson "Go Deep". AI ký hợp đồng với label BMG để phát hành 3 singles và 1 album. Sau 4 năm, năm 2003 AI chuyển sang ký hợp đồng với hip hop label Def Jam Japan, và trở thành nghệ sĩ nữ đầu tiên của họ. AI còn đc gọi là "Queen of Hip Hop Soul" với kỹ năng giọng chuẩn quốc tế và background mang nhiều phong cách văn hoá. Vào 07.07.2007, AI biểu diễn tại Makuhari Messe của chương trình Live Earth ở Tokyo.

Phải công nhận giọng AI khá đặc biệt, chất nhạc và cả giọng đều rất Tây. Thấy AI và MISIA đều theo dòng nhạc R&B và cả 2 đều có giọng hát rất hay. Đã nhìu lần nghe tên AI nhưng chỉ sau khi xem cái Video Japan Music Awards mới chú ý đến her. Down xong cái single Believe về phê đứ đừ. 3bored3 3bored3. Mình nghĩ mọi ng` cũng thử nghe AI xem. Nói chung là khá hay và dễ vào tai...3aha3 3aha3
