At the age of seven, Akon moved to New Jersey with his father and entered the concrete jungle from the Third World.

Unfortunately, when he was in high spirits and determined to become a professional player, he hurt his knee. Born rebellious, Akon began begging on the street for a living, and even was arrested and imprisoned for stealing a car. After three years of hard prison life, he completely turned over a new leaf and was determined to take the right path. So Akon recorded his life through music, wrote lyrics/arranged music for himself, and released his first album "The Trouble of Love". Good songs are not lonely.

Whether it is a soft rap song or a party song, it has its own style, just like hearing a street story sung by the most primitive African soul. Akon, who may run for the presidency of Senegal in the future, will walk out of loneliness and sing for you. (But Akon told reporters a while ago that after watching the TV series "24 Hours", he thought it was terrible to be president, so he gave up. Hehe, of course it's just a joke. [Edit this paragraph] The road to music originates from the worship of father. Akon's deep-rooted love for music eventually embarked on the road of music. Akon started playing several percussion instruments, and later he fell in love with hip-hop music, although he didn't agree with it at first. "When I first heard hip-hop music, I thought it was rubbish ~ ~, just because I didn't understand why people would interpret music in a way of speaking. But when I grew up and had some life experience, I listened to the lyrics carefully. I found that my life was confirmed by the lyrics sung by rappers, and I can feel the same. " Hip-hop has entered his life, and Akon's road to music is limitless. He began to concentrate on writing and making his own music. Show Out is a song about how hip-hop influenced him. It sang "Don't tempt me/'cuzi' I'm close to the edge/I'm trying not to lose my mind" in a sparse but repeated rhythm, and skillfully integrated the original lyrics. This song pays tribute to the hip-hop pioneers of the past while retaining its original flavor. In 2003, after winning many music awards, Senegalese singer AKON devoted more personal experiences and stories to the production of the album Konvicted. Now, AKON's focus is to change himself by saving music. As the son Mor Thiam, a famous jazz musician, AKON has been exposed to all kinds of music for a long time, but it is obvious that AKON loves soul songs more, and hopes to integrate this form of music with other different kinds of music. AKON has been trying various new styles and combining pop music elements on his own artistic path. AKON's single "Confinement" won him wide popularity, and the versatility and sensitivity of an artist was confirmed in his second album. Konvicted's current sales volume has reached 1 15000. AKON's two singles "I want to love you" and "Smack that" not only won the first and second place in Billboard Hot 100 music charts, but also topped the MTV charts.

Not only that, AKON's two singles also ranked third and sixth in the iTUNES single download charts. In Europe and the United States, the ringtone /CRBT downloads of these two singles have exceeded 360,000 times. With the success of Konvicted, AKON is a singer, creator and producer. He overcame all kinds of difficulties to prove his importance as a soul singer in this changeable new era. Konvicted is the best example! After finishing school, New Jersey went to Akon, Atlanta alone. At a young age, he was also the composer and producer of his first album. In the summer of 2004, he signed a contract with Universal Records and released his first album "Trouble/Trouble", which was full of explosive power. In the album, he sang a vivid life: from Africa to the United States, because the African accent was teased by white children, until middle school students called him a "nigger". The oath of "singing for respect/justice" inspired Akon. "No one in trouble" tells everything about A-K-O-N, and many hip-hop choking songs that hit the hip-hop curse make the hip-hop map on the west coast of the United States dramatic! The influence of "showing off" and singing "hip-hop music" used to be what he called "garbage" in his heart, but now it is his whole life; The first single "Bananza (Belly Dancer)" in rap hip-hop has a little bit of reggae lazy scenery. Akon wants everyone to put aside all unhappiness and just swing at the summer party with beautiful girls! The single "Locked" won the billboard rhythm and blues list TOP6 pop list TOP8 and the British gold list Top 5. A good song is not lonely ~ The single "Mr. Loneliness" is the most clicked song in the world.

Explain Konvicted's loneliness and guilt to fans all over the world. Akon admits that his favorite is soul music, but he prefers to mix and match various genres. This new album is the best proof. The first single "Smack That", in the remake of hip-hop, with the help of rapper Eminem's horizontal knife, soared to the top of the billboard pop singles list, setting a new record of climbing 88 places in a single week and going straight to TOP 2; In addition, Styles P., who once wrote "Confinement", gave the voice of "Blow Away" and Snoopy's "I Want to Love You" and won the American championship for two weeks. At the beginning of the album, the trilogy of Unity of the Kings was presented. Melodious "Running Tired" Akon confided in spiritual songs and didn't want to continue to escape. It is the last confession of street life. In "I can't wait" with fellow villager T-Pain, Akon successfully blended lyric jazz and hip-hop remake, bringing the two styles of music, which are also from soul music, together again. In the lyric masterpiece "Never Spend Time", the piano and violin rarely seen in hip-hop are boldly used, bringing a smooth melody with an accent; In mama africa, Akon joined a lot of West African drum music, devoted himself to African culture and expressed his homesickness for his people. The songwriting and production of the whole album were completed by Akon, which not only vividly demonstrated Akon's extraordinary songwriting talent and unique and elegant voice, but also proved that Akon was a skilled music producer and attracted many superstars to cooperate. In addition to setting up his own music production company and hoping to run for the presidency of Senegal in the future, Akon recently made a guest appearance at the CSI crime scene across Hollywood, and began to shoot autobiographical films, determined to become an all-round artist.

Rush's feat Cardinal office building 15. Release date of "Freedom of Foreigners": 2008. 12.2 Akon-Freedom "Freedom" This is the name of Akon's latest solo album, which stems from his "repentance" for his behavior at the Fishkill open-air concert in new york; From his "repentance" for the behavior of Trinidad Zen Club; From the reverence for the blood of the martyrs who fought for independence and freedom on the national flag of the motherland; It also stems from his own dream: to wash away original sin and original sin and really get rid of the brand of "sin". For this "freedom trip", Akon started the propaganda work very early. Before releasing the album, he performed in the city of 12, and held a competition on the internet to let fans express their opinions and explain the meaning of "freedom" to them. Akon's attention to this album is obvious. In the album, Akon still maintains his unique voice and sweet melody as expected, but in music production, it is different from his previous two R &；; B, Hip-hop and reggae mixed albums are very different, and more European party music elements are introduced into the album. Judging from many mainstream hip-hop albums in 2008, this change will also become the general trend of the development of the whole hip-hop music circle, and the new genre of rave is slowly paying off. The synthesizer sound effect in the first single "Na Na Na" clearly verified Akon's idea of moving closer to European electronic dance music. This experimental single also reached 18 on the Billboard Top 100 list in the first week after its release. Besides Right Now (Na Na Na), there are many similar dance music in the album, such as Keep You Much Longer, T-Pain's Holla Holla, Troublemaker and Beautiful. Ken completely changed his previous style for the crowd on the dance floor. Of course, Akon will not forget to satisfy the tastes of Hiphop fans. The second hit song with Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy, "I am such a good match", is a typical street style single, showing his rich pocket. Akon once again "dresses up" as a pimp here, announcing that he is a big boss in the music industry, and even the old man himself can't move: "God only needs a phone call to make an artist rise or fall. I don't have to worry, I have plenty of money, and I control him with money! " Compared with the previous two albums full of crime stories and street legendary songs, Freedom is more like a "free journey" for a sinner to find a quiet life, with many warm and sincere feelings. Sunny days tell the perfect feeling when the clouds clear, and in the song "With You", Akon continues the topic in the best-selling single "Never mind" in 2007. Under the strong beat of electronic reggae created by producer Hakim, he made a real confession to his lover and vowed that nothing could separate them. Other songs worth listening to are "Over the Edge", which tells the story of "Stand up bravely when you fall down", and "Birthmark", a love song that makes a fuss about a woman's birthmark. Aside from those temporary troubles, whether it is the troubles encountered by his family in the process of immigrating to the United States or the troubles of his own growth, Akon relies on freedom to continue to reap the fruits of his previous success. He hopes that all these unfortunate stories will end in this album. Between continuing to be depressed and forgetting everything and fully enjoying life, Akon chose the latter. After being imprisoned and pleading guilty, Akon decided to bid farewell to his gray past completely through this album. Through freedom, Akon began to reach the second peak of his career, and the direction he chose also ensured that this "trip" would not be another parabola. 1. Now (Na Na Na) 2. Beautiful feat.
