AKON

Akon is an American hip-hop artist, producer, songwriter, and entertainer whose energy charges thousands of people with incredible positivity.

Akon (full name Alyum Damala Badara Akon Tia) grew up in the United States, but spent his early childhood in Senegal. His parents were creative people themselves: his mother was a dancer, and his father was a drummer.

Akon's passion for music manifested itself early. Already at a young age, he played the guitar, drums, and national Senegalese instruments, and from the age of 15, he began writing songs.

The singer's first album, "Trouble," was released in 2004 and went platinum. The hits Ghetto and Belly Dancer (Bananza) instantly gained fame not only in the USA, but also in Europe.

In November 2006, the singer's second album, "Konvicted", was released, and again it was a success! Such stars as Eminem, Snoop Dogg, as well as T-Pain and Styles P participated in the recording, so it is not surprising that the disc turned out to be the best release of the year.

In the musician's career, there were duets with Michael Jackson, work with Lady Gaga, and the mega-successful hit "Sexy Bitch", created together with David Guetta. In 2010, Akon wrote the anthem for the World Cup, which was held in Africa.

In addition to music, Akon's interests include cinema. He has already tried himself as an actor and director.

Akon is widely known as a philanthropist. Thus, the musician launched the Akon Lighting Africa project, which brought light to thousands of residents of the continent, and established a fund to help children from poor African families. One of his largest projects is the creation of a unique tourist city called Akon City, which is currently under construction in Senegal.

Now the artist continues to record new albums. The latest was released in 2023 and is called "Afro Freak". The musician does not abandon his touring activities. Thus, in 2024, he performed in a number of European cities.
