小简介
Akon是穆斯林人,出生自非洲西部的陌生国度塞内加尔的Akon,七岁时随父亲举家搬到美国的纽泽西,从第三世界进入水泥丛林,akon始终郁郁寡欢,好在他运动神经发达的本钱让他拿到篮球奖学金,顺利进入大学,无奈就当他意气风发、立志成为职业球员时,不幸摔坏了膝盖。天生反骨的akon开始在街头讨生活,甚至还因为偷车被逮入狱,三年的苦牢让他彻底洗心革面,决心走上正途,于是akon透过音乐、用音乐纪录生活,一人身兼词曲创作/制作编曲,推出首张大碟《爱情烦恼trouble》。好歌不寂寞,专辑一推出就连坐英国金榜2周冠军和R&B榜6周冠军,首支单曲"Lonely"也空降英国金榜冠军蝉连2周。被纽约时报誉为“塞内加尔的惊喜”,寂寞先生akon特有的骚灵嗓音让每首歌都充满全新生命,不论是轻柔饶舌的歌曲、还是派对劲歌都有自己的风格,就像听到一个最原始的非洲灵魂对你亲声吟诵一段段街头故事。未来还可能会参选塞内加尔总统的阿肯,就要走出寂寞,为你歌唱。(不过前一阵 akon对记者说,看了电视剧《24小时》,他觉得作总统是很可怕的事,他放弃了。呵呵,当然 ,这只是个玩笑)
【音乐之路】
源于对父亲的崇拜,akon对音乐的热爱是根深蒂固的,最终他还是走上了音乐的路。akon一开始投入数种打击乐器的演奏,随后还是爱上了嘻哈音乐,虽然起初他对此颇不以为然,“我第一次听到嘻哈音乐的时候,我觉得那真是垃圾~~,只因为我不了解人们为什么要用说的方式来诠释音乐。但当我开始长大,有了点生活体验、再仔细听那些歌词之后,我发现我的生活与那些饶舌者所唱念的歌词有了印证,我可以感同身受。”
嘻哈进入了他的生命,akon的音乐之途从此不可限量,他开始专注于创作、制作他自己的音乐。“Show Out”就是一首关于嘻哈如何影响他的歌曲,在疏落却重拍的节奏里唱着"Don't tempt me/'Cuz I'm close to the edge/I'm trying not to lose my head,",巧妙地融合了原始的歌词,这首歌在保留原味的同时也向过往的嘻哈先锋表达敬意。
Although he was born in St. Louis, Aliaune Thiam — aka Akon — grew up in Senegal before he and his family (including his father, jazz percussionist Mor Thiam) returned to the United States and settled in New Jersey when he was seven. There he discovered hip-hop for the first time, as well as crime. He was eventually jailed, but he used the time to work on his musical ideas. Upon release, Akon began writing and recording tracks in a home studio. The tapes found their way to SRC/Universal, which eventually released Trouble, Akon's debut LP, in June 2004. The album was an interesting hybrid of Akon's raps and silky, West African-styled vocals with East Coast- and Southern-styled beats. The success of the song "Locked Up" raised Akon's profile, and he followed up in the fall of 2006 with Konvicted. Soon enough, two of the album's singles, "I Wanna Love You" and "Smack That," had made their way to the upper regions of the Billboard charts.
