| Akon Country : U.S.A Date of Born: : 30 April 1973 City: : St. Louis, Missouri, USA Info: Akon, born Aliaune Thiam, grew up in Senegal before he and his family (including his father, jazz percussionist Momar Thiam) eventually settled in the USA, in the state of New Jersey. There he discovered hip-hop and R&B music as well as crime. He was eventually jailed, but he used the time to work on his musical ideas. Upon release, Akon began writing and recording tracks in a home studio. The tapes found their way to SRC/Universal, which eventually released "Trouble," Akon's debut LP, in June 2004. The album was an interesting hybrid of Akon's hip-hop-influenced sung lyrics and silky, West African-styled vocals with East Coast- and Southern-styled beats Awards: American Music Awards 2007 Won American Music Award category Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist 2007 Got nomination for American Music Award category Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist 2007 Got nomination for AMA T-Mobile Text-In Award BET Awards 2007 Got nomination for BET Award category Best Male R&B Artist 2007 Got nomination for BET Award category Best Collaboration for "I Wanna Love You" shared with Snoop Dogg 2007 Got nomination for BET Award category Video of the Year for "I Wanna Love You" shared with Snoop Dogg BET Hip-Hop Awards 2008 Won BET Hip-Hop Award category Producer of the Year Billboard Latin Music Awards 2010 Got nomination for Billboard Latin Music Award category Hot Latin Song of the Year, Vocal Event for "All Up 2 You" shared with Aventura, Wisin & Yandel ECHO Awards, Germany 2006 Got nomination for ECHO Award category International Hip-Hop/R&B Artist for "Trouble" 2006 Got nomination for ECHO Award category National/International Hit of the Year for "Lonely" Grammy Awards 2008 Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for "The Sweet Escape" shared with Gwen Stefani 2008 Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "Bartender" shared with T-Pain 2008 Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best Contemporary R&B Album for "Konvicted" 2008 Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "I Wanna Love You" shared with Snoop Dogg 2007 Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Smack That" shared with Eminem MOBO Awards 2009 Got nomination for MOBO Award category Best International Act 2008 Got nomination for MOBO Award category Best International Act 2007 Got nomination for MOBO Award category Best R&B 2007 Got nomination for MOBO Award category Best International Act MTV Australia Video Music Awards 2007 Got nomination for MTV Australia Video Music Award category Best Male Artist for "Smack That" 2007 Got nomination for MTV Australia Video Music Award category Best Hip Hop Video for "Smack That" 2007 Got nomination for MTV Australia Video Music Award category Best Hook Up for "Smack That" MTV Europe Music Awards 2007 Got nomination for MTV Europe Music Award category Album for "Konvicted" 2005 Got nomination for MTV Europe Music Award category Best New Act 2005 Got nomination for MTV Europe Music Award category Best Hip Hop Act MTV Video Music Awards 2007 Got nomination for MTV Video Music Award category Male Artist of the Year 2007 Got nomination for MTV Video Music Award category Most Earth-Shattering Collaboration for "Smack That" shared with Eminem 2005 Got nomination for MTV2 Award for "Locked Up" shared with Styles P MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2007 Got nomination for MTV Video Music Award Japan category Best Collaboration Video for "Smack That" shared with Eminem mtvU Woodie Awards 2007 Got nomination for mtvU Woodie Award category Viral Woodie for "Don't Matter" 2005 Got nomination for mtvU Woodie Award category International Woodie (Favorite International Artist Award) for "Locked Up" MuchMusic Video Awards 2007 Got nomination for MuchMusic Video Award category People's Choice: Favorite International Artist for "Smack That" 2007 Got nomination for MuchMusic Video Award category Best International Artist for "Smack That" shared with Eminem Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2008 Got nomination for Blimb Award category Favorite Song for "Don't Matter" NRJ Music Awards 2009 Got nomination for NRJ Music Award category International Male Artist of the Year 2008 Got nomination for NRJ Music Award category International Male Artist of the Year Premio Lo Nuestro 2010 Got nomination for Premio Lo Nuestro category Colaboracion del Ano (Collaboration of the Year) for "All Up to You" shared with Aventura, Wisin & Yandel Teen Choice Awards 2007 Won Teen Choice Award category Choice Music: Breakout Artist - Male 2007 Got nomination for Teen Choice Award category Choice Music: R&B Artist 2007 Got nomination for Teen Choice Award category Choice Music: Love Song for "Don't Matter" Vibe Awards 2004 Got nomination for Vibe Award category Hottest Hook for "Locked Up" shared with Styles P.
