description: "Andwele Gardner, 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 solo single \"Find a Way\" narrowly entered the chart and led his debut studio album, Subject (2003), released by Virgin Records."
