Akil has always been influenced by music’s creative and technical
elements. Originally from St James, his father, a pannist, etched the
art form into his psyche from an early age exposing the 6 year old to
the national instrument.
From that age on Borneo loved music, he tinkered and deconstructed
musical apparatus and the work of artists, to understand the
fundamentals and origins of that which enraptured him. He modelled
his own career developing his own style by critically assessing and
building on the foundation created by others in the music and
entertainment fora.
He consistently made advancements juggling two jobs originally first
focusing most of his free time on his engagement with the Associate
Degree Sound System and their performances at the country’s top
two nightclubs during that era. This continued for twelve years and
formalised his path/journey into the entertainment world with the
sobriquet “5 Star.” He eventually seizing the chance and pursued his
passion full time in 1998.
5 Star Akil became a mainstream soca artist in 2013 with the
release of his hit song “Partier” this followed earlier productions
“Shake Yuh Bumper,” “Pray” and “Up in the Rave” which received
lukewarm receptions in the highly competitive soca arena. With
those offerings he was, however, able to entertain at fetes and
make bookings consistently. Since “Partier” he continued to release
formidable songs – “Never Done” with Nadia Batson, “To Meh Heart”
and “Untamed” featuring Lyrical.
