Akon Biography
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. ~ Johnny
