Batman (Best of All Time MAN) Samini is originally known as Emmanuel Samini. Samini means Rain God in his native language. He has now dropped the Batman and simply known as Samini even though his fans still call him Batiboy, Batio, etc. He is known as the raglife dada and dancehall stopper. He is one of the biggest artistes in Ghana judging on his ability to feature on many successful hits. He began to enter the international spotlight after winning the Best African musician award at the MOBOs (British).
Emmanuel Andrews Samini, is from Wa, Ghana. He was born in Accra (Dansoman). He attended Holy Family Catholic school at Mataheko, and then went to St Margaret Mary Secondary school. By the time he was 14, he had joined a church choir. He was discovered after featuring on Mary Agyepong's ‘Twe no bre me’ who was introduced to her by Sonni Bali.
He featured on Kokoveli's Zaa-za and K.K. Fosu's Suudwe which brought him into the limelight. He became a highly sought after artiste as he featured on countless hits. In 2004, he released his own album called Dankwansere where critics wondered if he could succeed on his own. Dankwansere, Twi for bat, went on to dominate local charts and won him many awards. He helped popularize signatures in Ghanaian contemporary music with his 'Gboie'. He calls it a gun shot sound and a signal which is meant for all the back biters. "We kill them dead".
His second album, Samini (Rain God) was even more successful and thrust him into the international limelight. The album had ballads, and songs that were R&B, hiplife, reggae, ragga, amongst others. He showed his versatility and his music is now played all over Africa. He went to win the Best African Musician at the MOBO awards in the UK in 2006. He was also nominated for the MTV EMA Awards in 2007 as well as the Channel O awards and the Radiophonie prize in France. In early 2008, he was crowned the Best African Artiste at Nigeria's Hip Hop World Awards.
His soon-to-be-released album features Steel pulse from the UK and Etana from Jamaica. He was originally produced by Lexyfri Productions and Ashanti International (Nana King) but he is now with his own label called Samini Music.
Some of his popular songs are For Better For Worse (Bull) with 5 5, Egwe, Do Something, Rasta man, Lambure, Yebre, Sexy, Repatriation, Philomina, Fakye, Obaa besia, etc.

I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BATMAN SAMINI.
i want to know his producer.
We still keep the fire blazin'
Daniel, you should really get to know his producer, because Samini needs a push and is the next biggest thing on the Ghanaian music scene now. So no surprises for his victory in the artiste of the year category.
Samini is splendid and I wish him all the best.
Congrats Emmanuel!
PS: Daniel, what do you want to know about Samini that hasn't been said already?
Emmanuel Samini has been honoured by MTN (sponsors of the 2008 African Cup of Nations in Ghana) as an ambassador of the tournament together with Stephen Appiah (Black Stars captain) and Abraham Boakye (One man supporter).
He's been really flying high the flag of Ghana and it even shows in his apparel, stage craft, etc. You've also go to listen to his Ghana@50 song.

I heard Samini's music in March 2007 and it was when the Ghanaians had their 50th celebration...a man named Maxwell Benson turned me on to him....I've been listening ever since and I travel all over the world and share Samini's music with everyone I meet...I'm planning a trip to the Dominican Republic towards the end of September and I will share it there as well...if they haven't already been listening. Thank you Max and thank you Samini (Rain God).
Cudos to Samini.Keep the fire burning
Hello,
I am a formal volunteer and during my stay in ghana a met a guy called Roxy. He is telling everybody that u are his brother..Telling people he wrote some songs for u. And he even used one song of u saying that it was his own so he could peform in Ivory Coast. A few weeks ago i found out that this is all not true. He has stolen some money from a volunteer and even went to jail 4 it. i dont think u like this promotion and i do think it's giving u as an artist a really bad name!!
Good luck with everything
from a formal volunteer
Hey formal volunteer,
I think it's great of you to report this. You're a good Samaritan. But to make sure that Samini really gets to read this and take proper precautions, you can log on saminionline.com to report this information to him.
Because it's not likely that Samini knows of the existance of this site(museke.com)to read your message.
Please you can post a comment on this site when you've mailed the message, so that Samini's fans can rest assured?
Thank you very much
Sheila
every kpoi (gun shot) is one million cedis and why not, my man batman samini is money in the bank!
thanx for the info @ formal volunteer. It's not easy being famous, some people abuse relationships they have with such people to their own benefit and sometimes to the detriment of hard-working musicians. Am sure Samini has had some help from people as he has risen through the ranks to become a major artiste and I feel the onus is on him to reward or appreciate whatever help he may have received. I will say it will be unfair for people to get up in arms saying they did this or that when they have not, so the musician should rather have the responsibility of making such information public.
Anyway, just like Babs said, Samini is money and am sure he will be a good sport about his music career and be as professional, humble and trustworthy as he can be.
Hey
Really from the statements of the volunteer who was in ghana or whatever really is not been real about the whole thing with ROXY! yeah his a young boy like the any boy as u can see and his in relation with samini, infact he is so much proud of his brother and his not in jail, he did had some problems though, his working with a voluntary organisation in the three northern regions and his really trustworthy boy since i have known him, i was a former volunteer of his orgnanisation aidme-ghana and really we did lots of charitable work and we were in a group of 7 three ladies and 4 men! well am quiet old and am from the netherlands and what am saying is the truth and nothing more.
It would be nice and greatful if we could stop all this issues and let sleeping dogs go to sleep. Roxy is a very lovely guy and love singing his brothers songs even with us we did went to the family house and met the family and unfortunately on our part Batman was at the studio and when he called him he said that he would be home at some point but then i in person was flying back home and we had to go to airport! please i would appreciat it that we stop all this accusations about him! his a nice and lovely guy just that the ladies love him but his not into them though i know his free minded and love hanging out. I was in ghana with my gfriend and we did had a good time with him so please can you stop all this about the young boy.... he never told us that his making music for his brother and he never said to us that he is doing music just that his inlove with his brothers music and tell all friends that he meet, i know the family house in dansoman and would like if i get batman email himself i can talk with him to let him know about it!
Thanks
Jan
both Roxy and Samini are great people, thank you for the info Jan.
Wish Roxy the best in his career.
samini is going to blow up everywhere, that guy earlier said he is going to talk about him in the Dominican republic but our brothers in the Carribean are aware of his talent
Hey
I was also a volunteer and then a tourist later and travelled later the whole of ghana with my gfriend! i have known Roxy quiet well and would like that this should be stoped on the net! i know is his fellow black people doing this to him, most people are jealous of him, i guess because his related to samini, shit happen all the time though but who so ever that is doing this should put a stop to it or else would rip what ever that is been sowed?
I am wondering why people are saying all this about this young and talented boy who like to help out people and others thing that bad of him, in life no man is perfect and if he was in jail is not suppose to be put on internet. Looking at this our world now we have lots of people who were in jail before and they are so wonderful and nice people and nobody have ever put them on net! so why ROXY? really i met hime in accra for the past 8mths and we were really good friends and later on my boyfriend came down and we hangout together.
Just returned home and decided looking at the ghanaian musicians and came acrose this saga about roxy in jail is such a shock to me! his never in jail, and pls can all this be put an end to and let the poor boy continue his work his doing for the underpreviledged children.....
Thanks
Vincent
Sorry, I just have to react on the story from Vincent en Jan. Don't want to disrespect Samini, because this site is to show our respect for his music.
About Roxy... I am in Ghana now...And met him. It's bull shit what vincent and Jan are saying. I am sorry to say that. And it is really a sad story. That somebody spent so much time to cheat innocent girls...
To Roxy(aka vincent and Jan) I would say: Get a real life!
Its too stupid to live your life this way.
U don't have to react on the story no more concerning Roxy because we are about African music. If Roxy makes some music, his fans can tell us about it, other than that, let's keep Roxy and his personal matters away from here, thank you all very much.
Was disappointed Samini didn't win anything at the Channel O music video awards. Better luck next time Emmmanuel
Everybody im the girl who wrote down that bayuo roxy went to jail. Im a gril from holland and knew roxy 4 8 months before he started 2 steel my money. I have even a ploice form were he confessed that he stool money from me. During my friendship with roxy he was telling a man who is looking 4 ghaniain musicions 2 perform in ivory coast and roxy was using a song of samini and told the guy it was his!
If u want 2 know more about roxy in jail look at my weblog (sandrijn.waarbenjij.nu) or look at something roxy wrote himself at:http://jolandadejager.waarbenjij.nu/..
Im really sorry it seems like a nice guy but i already know 6 people more he stole from!
And Samini ur the best!!

get in touch for further information.
this is the latest topic in town which is on the lips of every ghanaian that samini is dating ras shoto whi is also known as queen of african dance hall. is it true?
Ras Shoto? I remember her name but what songs has she done? What makes her the queen of African dancehall?
When we interviewd Samini, he said he is not married and he didn't mention any lady in his life, other than his 4 year old daughter. Watch this space.
