Akil Dasan doesn't just perform hip-hop, he embodies everything that hip-hop is, was and aspires to be. An African-Judaic blend of multiple ethnicities and cultures, Akil stands out from any crowd for an entirely different reason-he provides a blend of multiple talents: rapper, singer, guitarist, DJ, writer, beat-boxer and break-dancer. Influenced heavily by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, The Roots, D'Angelo, Mos Def and Lauryn Hill, Akil combines jazz, blues, funk and classic soul with the neo-soul sound of today. And like Stevie Wonder, Akil plays all the instruments himself.
