Music reflects the artistic expression and introspection that is dictated by the personal growth of an artist. As today’s musical landscape is rich with a variety of sounds and styles, a new breed of musical creativity is evolving, and Akshan is poised and ready to take this vision to the next level.
Akshan, born in the hills of rural St. Mary, Jamaica is a gifted artist with confidence and a command of stage that categorizes him with any of today’s top performers. Combining elements of Reggae's past with a new vision and style, his sound is uniquely lyrical yet refreshing for the novice listener.
Akshan is "creatively un-inhibited," blending melodic Reggae chants with today’s prevalent Hip Hop culture to create a contemporary rhythm-driven sound that will appeal to anyone with an ear for music. His unique sound is an indication of the impact that variety and openness has on artistic growth.
Long before Akshan ever graced a stage or penned a musical composition he was influenced by those that creatively set the performance standard for his generation, artists ranging from Reggae greats like Bob Marley, Sizzla Kalonji and Barrington Levy, to R&B crooners such as Brian McKnight, Marvin Gaye and R. Kelly. For a true understanding of the depths of his musical inspiration, you need to look no further than within the music Akshan creates.
Akshan’s debut album “Time fi Akshan†was released in March 2005, and received much acclaim from fans and casual listeners alike. The album focused on the many facets of Akshan’s aesthetic qualities while giving a glimpse of the true star potential that this artist possesses. Consistent with his theme of evolution Akshan has made great strides to distinguish him from the mainstream.
Akshan is not purly Reggae, he is not R&B, and he is not pop, but rather, he is a hybrid of many sounds, many feelings, and many thoughts, combined into one exceptional artist.
The sophomore album “The I-Brid†is slated for release in spring 2008 and will further define what truly sets Akshan apart from the rest.
