Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that’s what separates the legends from the regular artists. It’s all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.
AkonAkon When I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn’t understand the concept of people talking over music.
AkonAkon I just like music all the way around the board. I can’t stick to one thing – I’ve got to move around.
AkonAkon My ideas come when I least expect it, so I’ve always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.
AkonAkon Living right brings the smile out of you!!
AkonAkon Whoever told you its not possible was lying! Keep going!
AkonAkon Two things that define SUCCESS In LIFE: – The Way You manage when you have nothing & way you behave when you have everything.
AkonAkon I always want to set myself a challenge by doing something no-one would expect me to do! But, having said that, I don’t feel as a musician you can steer too far away from what you normally do.
AkonAkon People will throw stones at you. Don’t throw them back. Collect them all and build an empire.
AkonAkon Misery is a choice. I chose happiness.
AkonAkon What I remember the most really was just running wild there. Barefooted, swimming in dirty lakes, selling fruit, picking mango trees, hoping not to get caught because they don’t take kindly to thieves in Africa.
AkonAkon It’s always the music first for me. But if the music isn’t selling, there isn’t gonna be no business. So you gotta make sure music is always the first priority.
AkonAkon Let’s break out of our past and concur the future
AkonAkon The moment artists can just do what they love to do then music will go right back to where it used to be. I mean back in the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s, that’s what it was.
AkonAkon The difference between dreams & success Is, dreams need effortless sleep & success needs sleepless efforts.
AkonAkon Damn life is so short.
