When I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn’t understand the concept of people talking over music.
AKONWhen I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn’t understand the concept of people talking over music.
AKONWhat 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.
AKONI just like music all the way around the board. I can’t stick to one thing – I’ve got to move around.
AKONMisery is a choice. I chose happiness.
AKONI 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.
AKONWhoever told you its not possible was lying! Keep going!
AKONNever start something to prove people wrong, Always start to prove yourself right.
AKONPeople will throw stones at you. Don’t throw them back. Collect them all and build an empire.
AKONThe difference between dreams & success Is, dreams need effortless sleep & success needs sleepless efforts.
AKONIt’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.
AKONI don’t want to know I’m getting older. Then I’ll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don’t want that.
AKONA fool dreams of wealth. A wise man dreams of happiness!
AKONI always try to give my own albums space in between so I have time to create a new sound and give time for people to miss me. You have to come out fresh and reinvent yourself.
AKONAs Africans we shouldn’t ever have to reach out to build our own country, there is enough money in Africa itself.
AKONThe 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.
AKONI’m a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.
