After quitting his five-year and near-six-figure fitness career in December of 2023 in order to devote 100% of his time, energy, and self to bringing true Buffalo-bread rock 'n roll into the limelight, akloh. has quickly (and largely independently) made a name for himself by gigging relentlessly across Western New York (~85 live performances in 2024) and by establishing a strong presence on social media (~150 pieces of video content, countless posts, and thousands of followers gained across all platforms in 2024). Armed with nothing more than his acoustic guitar, akloh. creates a live performance atmosphere unlike most others with his unique brand of dynamic vocals, percussive strumming, electrifying delivery, and inclusive engagement.
