Akon is the performing name of Senegalese-American singer Aliaune Thiam, whose 2004 debut album, Trouble, spawned the hit singles "Locked Up" and "Lonely." The son of jazz percussionist Mor Thiam, Akon spent his childhood in the U.S. and Senegal (Dakar), settling in New Jersey when he was a teenager. Out of high school, Akon turned to crime and was jailed for his part in a car theft ring. After his release he focused on making his own demo tapes and eventually landed a recording contract. His distinctive smooth and reedy voice was backed by production skills that made him a sought-after collaborator, and by the time of his second release, 2006's Konvicted, he had hits lined up with top stars, including Eminem ("Smack That"), Gwen Stefani ("The Sweet Escape") and Snoop Dogg ("I Wanna Love You"). He released his third album, Freedom, in 2009.
The song he does with Snoop Dogg, "I Wanna Love You," is really titled something a little naughtier... Akon is vague and cagey about his background, especially his actual date of birth, which many sources list as 14 October 1981... He has said his full name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Badara Akon Thiam.

Birth Date:March 28, 1986
Birth Place:New York, New York, USA
Height:5' 1"
Nationality:American
Education:
Attended Convent of the Sacred Heart School, Manhattan, New York
Attended Tisch School of the Arts, NY
Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta to affluent parents in Manhattan, the star-in-the making showed her potential early on – learning to play the piano at the tender age of four, and performing at open mic nights by 14. "I was always an entertainer," she acknowledges. "I was a ham as a little girl and I'm a ham today."
She attended the same private Catholic girls school as Paris and Nicky Hilton, and credits her schooling as something that helped her stand out from other blonde bombshells in the charts. "I went to a lovely school and I got an incredible education," she says. "And I actually think that my education is what really sets me apart, 'cos I'm very smart."
Though close to parents Joseph and Cynthia, Stefani risked losing their approval when they went to see one of her 'shock art' shows, which she started performing aged 18 in downtown New York burlesque clubs. "My father came to see shows when I was in leather thongs and didn't understand. He couldn't look at me for a few months.
