At a time when something so amazing as the genre of R&B seems to be taking a backseat to its neighboring genres, R&B sensation Akevius plans to revive it by refusing to conform to the trends, and by authentically carving out his own lane in music.

Akevius, a R&B singer-songwriter, hailing from Charlotte, NC, is ready to take the music industry and R&B genre by storm. Akevius was born in Chester, SC however his family soon after relocated to Winnsboro, SC, and again to Lincolnton, NC before finally settling in the Queen City, Charlotte, NC. At age six, Akevius found his passion for music as he was captivated by the late night tunes on the radio, thus leading him to fall in love with R&B music.

Akevius discovered his meaningful and heartfelt sound at a very young age when a mentor Xan, better known as Da Natural, picked him up everyday and drove him to Cuz Cuz Ent Studios to record. Soon after, the opportunity to collaborate with producer Figz, and rapper III came about, and the rest was history. It would be a meeting with music executive Kadife Sylvester, that would ultimately change the face of his career. Sylvester ran powerful campaigns in Charlotte, North Carolina for Akevius' music helping him to effectively generate a nice buzz and garner support from his city and beyond. The success of the campaign allowed the R&B crooner to make a name for himself, eventually leading to him collaborate with super producer Polow Da Don with his smooth silky vocals and dope artistry.

Akevius biggest influences include R. Kelly, Lloyd, The Dream, and J. Holiday. It was Lloyd's "You" record that helped Akevius discover his true desire to sing, "I would sing the record to every female I knew," said Akevius.

Recent highlights include Akelius winning R&B Artist Of The Year & Radio Single Of The Year award at the 9th Annual Queen City Awards, a local awards ceremony acknowledging up and coming music artists in Charlotte, NC. He has also collaborated with Plies on his lead single "Dumb Love" and with Nicki Minaj on his second single "Head". In addition he has received extensive radio play on both 92.7 The Block in Charlotte, NC and V 103 in Atlanta, GA, along with over 35 other radio stations supporting. Akevius has also had the honor of opening up for T.I., Future and K. Michelle. The R&B vocalist has also tapped into other endeavors outside of music as well. He decided to step out into the world of entrepreneurship as he owns his own painting company as well as a beauty supply store.

Akevius desires to be a champion. The singer-songwriter is a very hardworking individual who is also a fighter with the desire to win in his heart. Akevius plans to change the face of music while simultaneously keeping real R&B music alive. Akevius is a very family oriented individual as well, "I do this for myself, my son, and my entire family," he says. Akevius is sure to set 2016-2017 ablaze with memorable melodies, emotional vocals, and honest lyrics. Following the forthcoming release of his first single "Dumb Love", Akevius will continue to give fun, sexy, and meaningful hits to eager listeners and fans. Akevius' lead single "Dumb Love" featuring Plies is currently climbing up the charts with more to come, stay tuned!
