Dexter "Dex" Akins
Dex began singing at the age of eight. All who heard him were astonished at the beauty of his voice. Not long after he began singing, Dex earned his first church solo. It was titled, "Because He Lives". Dex's stirring rendition of this classic led many to tears and helped Dex discover his purpose in life. Dex has sung in many churches around the world and performed in a number of plays throughout his life including "The Wiz", "Hear My Cry", "Looks Can Be Deceiving", "Signed Sealed and Delivered", and most recently, "If These Walls Could Talk". Dex has also had the pleasure of singing on many stages throughout the United States but says his career highlight has been performing on stage with one of his musical idols, Kirk Franklin while still in high school.

Dex signed with Mastarmind Music Group in 2004. Both the label and Dex are excited about Dex's forthcoming freshman album. The album will feature tracks produced by the midwest's hottest new production duo, Woodard and Frank Hightower collectively known as Purple Ink. This duo has helped Dex craft a new sound which is a hybrid of gospel and R&B. His new sound has been described as Rhythm & Praise (R&P). It borrows heavily from Hip Hop and R&B, but maintains a singular focus of praising and worshipping the Lord as in traditional gospel. The world will have an opportunity to hear this new sound when the album is released in early spring 2007 and and when they do Dex is confident that he will be performing his purpose in life for a much larger audience.
