About Me
A-Class is a Hip hop / R&B group based in the city of Dubai. It got two members and they go by the names of Sean Shorty and Akey Akk. The story begun with the family, both Sean and Akey used to listen to music when they were young. As Sean says : my Dad used to drop me to school on the rhythm of James brown. Akey's father used to be in a band, so the music was there all the time in the house. Sean and Akey had a hard time getting all the music they loved, because living in an Arabian country at that time was too hard. They grew up listening to artists like James Brown, Tina turner, Bizzy Bee and Michel Jackson. Then they found the path they wanted. It was like a Dream. Nothing made them feel better than a hip hop beat. They felt like this was where they belonged to. They had so many problems especially with the English language, but they worked hard to speak it and write it. It was the legendary N.W.A who made Sean and Akey fall in love with hip hop; then came Big Snoop dogg, Wu-Tang, Eric Sermon, Tupac, Biggie and so many others. After being together as friends for over 10 years, A-class saw the light in 2004 providing a new age of hip hop and R&B mixed with an arabian Flavor. A-class.. big aim is to make it on a big scene for people to share the ideas and the message they have, hoping one day to work with top producers like Dr.Dre, Diddy, Timbaland and The Neptunes, and reach a level where they can get a prize for their music. Why this name? The Letter A is the top of the alphabet and thats what A-class is, on top of everything. Do you Play Live? We sing live anywhere we can, we love it! It's a rush that nothing else in this world could give... We love to perform alone, or even with people... Collaborations are really fun; there are so many talented people out there!! Would you still sign a record contract with a major label? Ohhh Yes! That..s really our main goal! And we plan on working really hard on it until we make it!!!We refuse to give up! Group History - Akey: The group was found nearly two years ago&.before that, Sean and I were working by ourselves. Sean had some underground gigs and so did I, having our own people but then we realised that us together was what Dubai could offer for the best. Your influences? Sean: Jay-z, Snoop, Eric Sermon, Method man, Missy and Fabolous. Akey: Musiq Soulchild, Donell Jones, Mary j and Nate dogg. Favorite spot? Our favorite spot first off is the studio, where we make all our music and dreams come true!!! Second though would have to be all the clubs in Dubai because there we can dance. Finally that would be home with family. Hobbies? We both like Soccer and basket ball, Video games like game cube and Ps2. Anything else...? A ll we got to say is that we want to share our ideas and thoughts with all the people on earth because we know that they can believe in us. We wish that there will be no more wars in this world and to live in a place full of peace and respect.
