Murfreesboro's own, Axtion is making moves and printing them out. Growing up in Murfreesboro, TN at the age of 13, he was listening to the one and only 2 Pac. Not only did he listen, to the music, Axtion wrote 2 Pac's lyrics down to really get a clearer understanding of what he was saying. Becoming intrigued by the lyrics he listened to and read, Axtion knew he could do it himself. Now at 28 years old he has accomplished plenty. Being a rapper, producer, video director, and graphic designer,and owning his own record label, this man is a jack-of-all trades in the music game. Over the years he has been making his way through the game with force. In 2009 he won the U.M.C. in 2009. In 2010 he won a HipHopInTheVille Award for Best Video. At the 2011 N.I.M.A Awards he won Grinder Of The Year. He has been nominated for various categories such as,Performer Of The Year, Record Label Of The Year, Graphic Designer Of The Year, Video Director Of The Year, and Grinder Of The Year. He is also up for a SEA Award for SLEPT on Artist Of The Year. Axtion has worked with many artists as a director. He has directed a music video for Mr.Mack-Think It Over, B. Howard- Brown Liquor Music, C. Lee- Break It Down, BlackCatfish- Everywhere I Go, and he's shot videos for Mike Jones, Lito, Young Buck, and Marco Stoney as well. Axtion has a single out now, entitled, "Brand New" that a lot of people are feeling and a couple of dj's are playing. It is currently on ITUNES as well. With his own record label, YOUNG I$LAND ENT, there isn't a need for a major deal. He likes to be hands on with his projects, and can shoot his own videos, and do his own productions, and promotions using all the sources from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. Axtion feels if he is the one doing it all, he will always get 100% at all times. He has just dropped his "ONE MAN ARMY" and has shot about 4-5 videos to it. They are all available on www.youngislandent.com for a free download. In 2012 you can expect to have his "ONE MAN ARMY 2" mix tape. This is the mix tape Axtion feels should make a lot of things happen for him.
