Performing at the Japan Concert
To her Japanese fans, AI is the "queen of hip-hop soul" for her compelling take on
urban beats. That style reflects her international origins: Born to a
Japanese father and Italian-Japanese mother in Los Angeles, Ai Carina Uemura
honed her singing and dancing skills on both sides of the Pacific due to her
father's travels, absorbing both American street music and Japanese pop along
the way. The first signing to Def Jam Japan, she's released seven albums, with
her 15th single, "I'll Remember You," slated for release on July 18.
