Akon Biography

Akon was born in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, on April 16, 1973, to Mor Thiam, a traditional jazz musician, and Kine Thiam, a dancer. His parents relocated to Dakar, Senegal, West Africa shortly after Akon’s birth and stayed for seven years. The couple returned to the United States with their family and lived in Jersey City.

When he began high school, his parents left him in the care of his elder brother in Jersey City and relocated the family to Atlanta, Georgia. Akon was a wayward and unruly adolescent who frequently violated school rules. He did not get along well with other children and soon began hanging out with the neighborhood rowdies.

Akon had a strong passion and love for music from a young age as a result of his family’s musical influence. Throughout his childhood, he learned to play five musical instruments, including the guitar, drums, and djembe.

Despite his association with lawbreakers in New Jersey, his love and passion for music aided in his rehabilitation.

He later enrolled in ‘Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia, but dropped out after only one semester. After graduating from university, he began focusing exclusively on music.

He began by recording at home. Meanwhile, he developed a friendship with Wyclef Jean of ‘Fugees.’ Akon finally signed his own record deal in 2003.

Akon has always kept his family out of the paparazzi’s reach. He asserts that he is the father of six children by three separate women. He also owns a diamond mine in South Africa and operates a charity called ‘Konfidence’ for impoverished youngsters. He has been embroiled in a variety of conflicts and has encountered various legal difficulties.

He is alleged to have spent a three-year prison sentence between 1999 and 2002 for his involvement in a car theft ring. Akon faced criminal charges in 2007 for allegedly throwing a 15-year-old child off the stage during a concert. He came under fire in April 2007 for his inappropriate sexual behavior with a teenage girl at a Trinidad and Tobago nightclub.
