Meet Emanuel Akins | Musician, Semi Truck Driver,

We had the good fortune of connecting with Emanuel Akins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Emanuel, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Discipline is very important, focus on your purpose and limit the distractions. Surround yourself with others who have the same drive as you or more.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I represent for all the hard working fathers who are doing everything they can to provide for their family and challenges within fatherhood. I speak out for anyone who is breaking the cycle and taking steps to put their family on the right path for the next generation.

I struggled with mental issues, anxiety and depression while trying to figure out life. I took the wrong path causing myself to almost lose my freedom, homeless, the people around me and most importantly Time with my son. I learned how important my role is as a father, and every decision has a consequence. Life lessons taught me how to be a better person and this is what I present in my music and brand.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I probably would take them up north in Chicago or downtown where you have many bars, clubs, restaurants and good music.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shoutout my family and friends who been there for me through the darkness times of my life. I want to appreciate the people I network with as well.
