Then came Hani’s unauthorized remix of Sting‘s “Sister Moon”, which was also bootlegged. Due to its success, this remix got official approval and was released by A&M. Hani's passion for creating music became a steadfast career in the summer of 1996 with the release of his first No:1 Billboard production “Soul To Bare” with house diva Joi Cardwell.
