MANILA, Philippines – Akon, the prolific Senegalese-American hip-hop singer-songwriter and record producer, will be performing at the Araneta Coliseum on July 4, together with our very own international R&B superstar Billy Crawford.
The five-time Grammy nominee’s life story has also become one of the most inspirational music sagas in recent memory, turning his life around after a troubled youth by pursuing a career in music, notching millions in album sales since his seminal debut album, Trouble.
His proverbial rags to riches story, coupled with his enigmatic personality, has made him one of today’s hottest producers, music artists as well as a full-blown digital phenomenon.
Akon won the 2007 American Music Award for Best Male Soul/R&B artist and was honored three times at the World Music Awards. He has achieved gold and platinum certifications in over a dozen countries.
Produced by ALV Events International, Akon Live in Manila is co-presented by OctoArts Entertainment, Regal Multimedia Inc. and Solar Entertainment.
