Ahmad Shanawa haziki ne kuma hazikin matashin mawakin kannywood, marubucin rubutu kuma furodusa. Kuma mutane da yawa suna sha’awar wakokinsa amma an fi saninsa da Babban Cakwai.
An haife shi a ranar 5 ga Janairu, a Jos na Jihar Filato, Najeriya. Ya yi makarantun firamare da sakandire duk a garin Jos, yana da burin zama mawaki tun yana karami, tun kafin ya kammala karatunsa ya fara kwazo.
Ya tashi daga Jos zuwa Kano bayan ya kammala karatunsa ya shiga masana’antar kannywood. Ya kwashe wasu shekaru ya fitar da shirin wakokin Hausa da dama amma ya zama fitaccen mawaki kuma shahararriyar mawaki bayan ya fitar da wakokinsa na pupolar guda biyu kamar; Bawan Mata and Gaskiya.
Ya yi tarayya da manyan mawakan Hausa masu cin nasara kamar; Hussaini Danko, Umar M Sharif, Nura M Inuwa, Hamisu Breaker da sauran mawakan Hausa.
Ya auri kyakyawar matarsa (Zainab) sun albarkaci diya mace mai kyau
Ya fitar da faifan sauti da bidiyo da dama na Hausa kamar haka; Gaskiya, Bawan Mata, Hadiza Malam Muje, ‘Yar Abuja, Ke Tawa ce, Zuciya So Don Allah da dai sauransu.
