About Ace Akai
Christopher Branin Morgan, known professionally as Ace Akai, is an American record producer. He has been a percussionist for over 8 years. He grew up with tons of rock music such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and Jimi Hendrix. In his late teenage years, he started diving into the genre of rap. Some of his favorites include Eminem, Nas, OutKast, Logic, Kendrick Lamar, and Mac Miller. He got really interested in the production side of music, especially in rap. Since discovering newer artists, such as Logic, Joey Bada$$, JID, Kid Cudi, Cordae, and many others reference older and classic rap, he went down to the rabbit hole of 80s, 90s, early 2000s, and underground rap. Discovering all these rap and production greats, like MF Doom, Madlib, EPMD, and countless others, have made him a very diverse rap listener, thus broadening his production style. His biggest production influences are Dr Dre, J Dilla, 6ix, and Tommee Profitt. He is currently studying at Full Sail University in the Recording Arts field.
