Andwele Gardner (born February 14, 1978),[3] known professionally as Dwele, is an American R&B singer, rapper, songwriter and record producer from Detroit, Michigan. He is best known for his guest appearance on Kanye West's 2007 single "Flashing Lights" as well as his often-uncredited performance on West's 2010 single "Power", both of which peaked within the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100. Gardner's 2003 debut single, "Find a Way" narrowly entered the chart and led his debut studio album, Subject (2003), released by Virgin Records.[4]
