During the school life he was kicked out from school for dealing with weapons and criminal activities along with some wrong crowed. Later on at the age of 18, he was under arrest and put in jail for a year and a half for involvement in a car theft racket. But once you have talent, prison should not be a barrier. Think all of you must be wondering – What kind of talent I’m talking about and who is this guy? Wait a while, let me carry on more.

During his imprisonment, he discovered his extraordinary musical skills and developed an admiration for his musical environment. Since then his journey began, writing songs mostly about prison life. Importantly he started to believe that his musical talent is the only way to leave his surroundings. When he was released he immediately began recording his music and sending out demo tapes. His unique blend of West African-style vocals and hip-hop lyricism eventually caught the ears of executives at Universal Records. Finally in June 2004, his album titled Trouble, was released. The album gained immediate popularity with its preceding single, “Locked Up,” a top 10 R&B hit. The second single, “Ghetto,” became another urban radio staple.

Hope, now you all have identified him – Yes, I’m talking about AKON.

“ Music is a very powerful subject - It has been used since the Greek times for healing, communication, relaxation and for enjoyment. Even before birth we are aware of our mother's heartbeat and during infancy are relaxed by the song of a lullaby. Every day everybody hears some form of musical pitch or rhythm and it can even be found in nature such as how birds communicate through a song-like speech. ”

Music becomes an addiction

For some people music becomes an addiction. There are many ordinary people who have amazing musical talent. And there are people who has made career out of music. I remember this fantastic, performer I watched perform at a friends house. Someone had sent her arizona singing telegrams. The performance was simply brilliant. When some one achieves recognition for sticking to the passion for music, it feels great to hear about that achievement.
