Birth name: Kingslee Daley. Akala, real name Kingslee Daley, is a British rap and Grime artist. He read Malcolm X’s biography at the age of 9, took his maths GCSE a year early, and had opened a successful Jamaican restaurant, “Auntie’s Cuisine” in Agia Nappa by the age of just 18. He is the brother of the successful singer Ms. Dynamite, who has proved to be much more successful than him since, as yet, none of his singles have reached the Top 40 of the Official UK Singles Chart. His recent music has seen airplay on various radio stations and music channels including BBC Radio 1, Channel U TV and BBC 1Xtra. Despite the fact he refers to himself as black or Jamaican and talks about issues in the black community, he actually has a Caucasian Scottish mother who raised him by herself after his dad left. His name is a Buddhist term meaning immovable. He released his first album, It's Not a Rumour on May 1, 2006. In September, 2006, he won a Mobo Award for best hip-hop artist. A lot of controversy sorrounded this award, as Akala beat heavyweight Hip Hop artists 50 Cent & The Game. He has collaborated with a number of artists such as Jammer, Baby Blue, Earz and many others. He was formally a football player with Wimbledon F.C. and West Ham United's youth team, playing in defence. |
