Bio:: His deep strong voice invokes and captures the emotional facet of any record you will find him on. Whether it’s from the “street narratives” that emanates the pain & struggles of life that an underprivileged individual would be accustomed to, or a “Club Banger/Feel Good” song that everyone can escape reality with and have a good time to. Akiese delivers both and more! Akiese, born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio has been accustomed to the music and entertainment scene since the early age of 12. Throughout his years of growth, his vigor and drive has cultivated him into the luminary he is today. Akiese’s experience has gained him the knowledge needed to stay along the forefront of the every changing Entertainment Industry. He recognizes that his light has led him to a unique dynamic. “ I am not just an Artist, I am a Brand” quotes Akiese and with bold statements as such, it is no mystery as to why this amazing personality has the ability to reach across a multitude of platforms and cross-over corporately all the while maintaining his authenticity with the customary individual. In 2008, Akiese, the ever so enlightened humanitarian is currently in the process of building The United Caring Foundation. A non-profit organization dedicated to assisting non-profits that help build a stronger community. This is just one of the innovative successes that set him apart from his peers in the Industry. When asked why he decided to take such bold steps and create a non-profit, his response was. “Growing up in the inner city of Cleveland has given me a sense of duty, a sense of, I must help create a change”. After relocating to Tampa, Florida Akiese quickly used his creative resources and partnered with 5 0’ Clock Entertainment (recording) and Axlyn (management). 5 O’ Clock Entertainment is a label best known for establishing such talents as 2-P, Lil Kee and a host of others. Akiese is currently in the studio recording his debut album “The Illumination”. Until the much anticipated release, you can hear his voice grace such records as “Tell The Dj”, “V.I.P” and “Ready To Go” ( available on I-tunes) just to name a few. You can find such productions with him from CTC, Vybe, and Superstar “O” all with major placements under there belts with artist such as jim jones, yung burg, mims, ray jay, nufu da don, and juelz santana, and more.
