Hip-pop Singer Akon

Hip-hop Singer Akon

Recently I discovered a Hip-hop singer by the name of Akon. I’m so excited that I’ve got to introduce him to all of you. It is believed that you won’t regret for his music once you hear. Many beautiful songs with a beat and their realistic lyrics must touch your heart and makes you think about your life or something else. As for me, I’m fond of his style of music, which is full of many different musical elements. In the song not only does he speak but also sing the real life with the style of African and American music and anything else.

Akon was born in a developing country Senegal of West Africa. When he was seven years, his father took him and move to New Jersey, USA, from the stone yellow tropical grasslands to the gray temperate forests of concrete buildings. Akon felt lonely in such a strange country, some people always made fun of him for his native accent, at that time, before 1990s, discrimination against backs was still common, some rules of games of life were not fair to backs. He became sullen and incommunicative.

However, he had a muscular build. He was tall, with long arms and legs, so good at sports especially basketball that a university offered him a basketball scholarship. As a result, he went to the university fortunately, but, it was unfortunate that he broke his knee by accident when he was very daring and energetic with a noble idea of being a professional basketball player. After that he dropped out of school as he had no mood to study at all.

Eccentric and unsociable Akon started to earn his life by every possible means. He didn’t want to work for other people but himself so he started to do a job as a petty theft, such as ripping off cars. However, evil will be recompensed with evil, it has once said. Akon was arrested for theft. he was very lonely in the prison, which might properly be the reason why he refond himself in the darkness and began to soothe the pain in heart by singing. The prison term of three years was a big lesson for him. After that he was out and determined to turn over a new leaf.

Luckily, he was born in a musical family. His father was a good hepcat, he’d been influenced by what he constantly heard and saw. When Akon was just a child, he started to play all kinds of instruments, and spoke and sang songs to his peers. At last he found a brilliant inspiration in Hip-Hop music. Unsociable Akon wrote his life by music, to express his ideas about the world. His talent for music was discovered by Refugee Camp Productions conducted by Wyclef Jean and Lauren Hill. He joined this team and collectively produced some albums for the famous hip-hop singer such as Usher, Monica, Baby bash, etc. After he gathered more and more experiences and chastened himself for a time, he was ready for his own album. He was the same guy that desired to be his own boss and do his own business. He acted as a composer, producer and a singer. He did the most of the things by himself for his albums. The first record in 2003 was titled “Trouble” which was a big hit. He made a major success, his well-known song “Lonely” came out at the top of the music charts in UK and USA. Of course his great music is not only this one.

Akon was called “Senegalese surprise” by New York Times. He has established worldwide recognition as a hip-pop singer. Mr.lonely Akon won’t be lonesome any more. His voice and musical style are so special and full of life that you always can find something particular and new in every song. He is too innocent to conceal his past crime. What he sing is a real world. When you listen to his music, it sounds as if an African soul was singing another and yet another street story to you with a little sadness and guilt. You may understand him, you may identify with him through his songs, from which you always can get something that touch your heart and ease your tense nerves. What are you waiting for? Come on, search and listen now.
