About Akon

Akon, born Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam, is a Senegalese-American singer, songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur who spent part of his childhood in Senegal before his family settled in New Jersey. He rose to prominence in 2004 with the release of Locked Up, the lead single from his debut album Trouble, quickly establishing his signature blend of melodic R&B vocals and hip-hop beats. His follow-up albums Konvicted (2006) and Freedom (2008) delivered chart-topping hits including Smack That with Eminem, I Wanna Love You with Snoop Dogg, Don't Matter and Right Now (Na Na Na). Beyond his own catalogue, he founded the record labels Konvict Muzik and KonLive, helping launch artists such as Lady Gaga and T-Pain, and has collaborated with the likes of Michael Jackson, Gwen Stefani and Lionel Richie. A five-time Grammy nominee, Akon has also become known for his philanthropic work through the Akon Lighting Africa initiative. His live shows are celebrated for their high-energy delivery and a run of instantly recognisable sing-along hits.
