I flicked through the channels one day and once I saw and hear him I had on The Road to Stardom, I had to keep watching. I was sad that he lost but I’m sure he’ll be successful in other arenas, anyway I’ve now stoped watching the show, he was my only reason. Anyway, I love the dreads and respect how he kept it real.

Akil is ahead of his times, it is of good fortune and for the best that he did not win the competition. If he would have won he would have been scrutinized and molded into a commercial generic and steriotypical singer. This would have breaken the true talent and uniqueness that he holds. I think he will go further than the competition winner. He has the talent to become the future Prince, “Bob Marley , jack johnson of his generation.
