Senegalese most famous musical icon Alieu Thiam, alias 'Akon' stormed the city of Monrovia, April 15, where he identified the need to support and improve the skills and quality of Liberian artists.

Addressing a major press conference, the Senegalese-American said he would consider extending his musical foundation referred to as "Confidence" to Liberia.

According to Akon, the foundation has been established by him to help improve the quality of young African artists and to expose their talents to the global world. He further said that additional branches have already been established in Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria and Angola among others. Liberia would be next.

He further noted that he would also consider taking one Liberian artist to the U.S. and noted that through that, another will follow as a way of beginning the pace for the improvement and development in the Liberia musical industry.

Akon who was brought to Liberia by Cellcom Liberia acknowledged the fact that Liberians are loving and caring people and admonished them to remain united and focused in shaping the destiny of the country. He claimed that Africa has a lot to offer to the world and that Africa played a more significant role in his success story today.
