In 2004, the singer released his first long player, Trouble. He sent his demos to numerous companies until SRC, a Universal subdivision, signed him up. Three years in confinement persuaded the young man to never break the law again.Īfter leaving the prison, Akon equipped his own room with the necessary facilities and built up a small studio to work on his own material. Locked in jail, Akon wrote some of the songs that would be featured on his albums. The sentence time was enough to reconsider life values and directions to go. This occupation brought him to prison where Akon spent three years. He offered his vehicles to celebrities, sportsmen, actors and musicians. As a teenager, Akon decided to launch an illegal business selling stolen cars. It was never released as Akon was not deeply interested in music at that time. Aged fifteen he wrote his first composition, Operations of Nature. He studied poorly and always found troubles with law. When he was seven, he moved to the States. In such circumstances, the boy could not but love music, especially drums and percussion. There are several opinions on his real name, but according to the most popular version, it is Aliaune Thiam. The uprising star of the mainstream music, Akon, was born in Senegal to a family of a famous jazz musician Mor Thiam.
