Introduced to the world of music at the tender age of five and captivated by the gospel sounds of his church choir, Akani established a firm bond between music and spirituality that lies at the foundation of his musical sensibilities. His unique style is a direct result of his eclectic range of musical influences. As a songwriter, Akani possesses the trademark skills of all the greats, the artistic courage to allow one's self to become truly vulnerable and the gift of an innate understanding of the vibrant exchange between artist and listener. "Poeta Sufrido" is a 13 track testament to Orlando raised Boricua's personal, as well as artistic, redemption. Be on the look out, for there's a lot more to come from this determined artist.
