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. He continues with the somber theme of redemption on the melodic "Trouble Nobody." Akon reveals a markedly different side of himself on the first single, the dance-floor tribute to beautiful women, "Bananza (Belly Dancer)." However, most of TROUBLE wanders in the sadness of living amongst urban decay, focusing on the trouble Akon has seen, and he's seen a lot.The uprising star of the mainstream music, Akon, was born in Senegal to a family of a famous jazz musician Mor Thiam. Akon's style derives from many influences, including hip-hop and his African heritage, but TROUBLE could be described as the grittier side of neo-soul, with a sound similar to Anthony Hamilton.TROUBLE opens with "Locked Up," a smooth, rap-infused dirge perfectly suited for Akon's winsome, high-pitched vocals, which retain just a pinch of an African accent. Once in the States, Akon was in and out of jail, until he decided to forego that existence and embrace music. Akon was born in Senegal, son of a well-known African jazz percussionist, but moved to New Jersey when just seven years old.
