Akuma - The demon to your earsAkuma - The demon to your ears

16 March 2023

"You're not going to get my name that easily" says Akuma who is a 21-year old that came from a town called Northampton. He never realised music was his passion until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with only a phone and a music production app to start off his career.

Over time that evolved to using a computer to be able to make music properly. He does not limit himself to what music he listens to or limits himself to what he can try, due to influences such as Skrillex, Avicii, Marshmello.

Akuma is an experimentalist as he doesn’t believe in keeping to one specific genre such as dance, drum and bass, etc., he feels that people should experience new sounds that would stimulate their earbuds, not only that… people can come together and put aside differences through music, so that’s his mission.

Akuma currently uses digital software to make his music, despite being limited, he has plans to go live soon. Just you wait…

Why don’t you have a listen to his music right now?

Being mediocre is okay, but staying mediocre is wrong.
