From the soundproofed walls and floor to the large sofas and keyboard racks, there's only one prevailing color inside Akon's state-of-the-art personal studio.
"It is all white," says the multi-platinum selling artist, of the studio where he has recorded and produced several of his R&B and hip hop hits. "It helps me think a lot easier," he adds. "This is my place of creation -- I am self-engineered, I pretty much work everything in here myself."
It's also here where the Senegalese-American singer is putting the final touches to his fourth studio album, expected to be released in June, nearly 10 years after he first rose to fame with his 2004 debut offering "Trouble."
