My name is Akeem-Anthony Adams. Born and raised in the Caribbean now living in Coventry, UK. I started modeling at the age of 16 and have done many runways shows and fashion shoots internationally, including New York, Paris, London and St. Maarten. I am an artist at heart and as a result love creating perplexed visual concepts when being photographed. I enjoy acting, dancing/choreographing, painting and drawing and adventurous activities such as hiking and sky diving. I would say my strongest features are my eyes and cheek bones.

I am thin in stature and have a small bone structure. As a result I am very manikin looking, I don't consider it a disability but rather something unique about myself in addition to my giraffe-like neck and tiny ears. I embrace my culture and historical background; Jamaican, Chinese, Cuban, Antillean.

I believe that being a male model shouldn't just portray a muscular or well fit body such as what is seen in magazines. We were all created in different forms, shapes and sizes and most of all distinct unique features. During my childhood, I was teased for being the ugly duckling and the 'odd" one in the bunch but this has made me stronger. It is my aim to empower thin male models as myself in this industry. I was discouraged greatly about my body type when I started modeling but my body has proven itself. Remarkably my unique look has driven photographers , agencies, and audiences.

I believe that I am off to a great start in this industry and I hope to progress immensely by modeling my life away.
