Biography

Akillezz, the son of a self-made successful immigrant, was raised in a Greek-American family. His father, a restaurateur, immigrated to the United States from Greece in 1974 with $75 in his pocket. During his formative years, Akillezz was raised by his grandparents while both of his parents were focused on their business interests. After graduating from the Horace Mann School, Akillezz concentrated on his music career in collaboration with producer John Jayd Daniels. In 2012, to more fully protect his creative endeavors, he founded the Akillezz Records label and quickly leaped near the top of the charts with singles from his first album, "Transgressionzz". Singles from the album reached as high as #3 on Billboard Hot Singles Sales Chart.
