Akon live in manila - held success!

Akon, the prolific Senegalese-American hip-hop singer-songwriter and record producer, will be performing at the Araneta Coliseum on May 23, together with our very own international R&B superstar Billy Crawford.

Akon rose to prominence in 2004 following the release of his single Locked Up, from his debut album Trouble. His second album, Konvicted, earned him a Grammy Award nomination for the single Smack That. The founder of Konvict Muzik and Kon Live Distribution record labels, he is also well known for singing hooks and has over 155 guest appearances and 23 Billboard Hot 100 songs to his credit. He is the first solo artist to ever accomplish the feat of holding the number one and two spots simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 charts twice.

we heard that the concert of akon with billy was wonderful. It was full of energy that made the viewers enthuiastically participate with beat of his songs.
