Akon is a Contemporary R&B and Dance-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Hip hop. Their sound grew out of P-Square, Shontelle, IAmChino, D12 and Wizkid. Those roots explain a lot about how Akon arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ne-Yo, Timbaland, Flo Rida, Baby Bash and Taio Cruz, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Camidoh, Voltio, Tami Chynn, The Beatnuts and Danny Fernandes, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
