About Akcent
Their debut album in 2006 “In Culori” went gold in less than three weeks and platinum several months later making them a national phenomenon in Romania.
Their summer 2009 smash ‘That’s My Name’ scaled the top of the charts in Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Brazil as well as India. Two songs particularly, ‘Stay With Me’ and ‘That's My Name’, have become every Bangalore club-goers’ top request mantra creating a niche in the popular House genre. The other equally hummable numbers like ‘Kylie’, (The Romanian version of the song Dragoste de închiriat won them the BEST GROUP award at The MTV Romanian Music Awards in 2006) ‘Lovers Cry’, ‘Jokero’ and ‘Happy People, Happy Faces’ have their own fan following.
Akcent’s trio, Adrian Claudiu Sina, Sorin Ştefan Brotnei and Mihai Gruia started out as singing partners only to become good buddies during their decade long musical journey.
About the organizers
Twenty-somethings Akshat, Sean and Irfan, childhood buddies from Mangalore are bringing down this popular boy band as part of their Asia debut beginning in India. It all began when Irfan gifted Akshat an album with a mix of songs, one of which had the chart-topper ‘That’s My Name’. From then on Akshat researched the group and their fan following in India, and Bangalore in particular. Finding that Akcent’s songs were a constant in every club in the city, he along with Sean and Irfan worked at getting the group down to the city.
