However, following this triumphant start, Akim temporarily disappeared from the public eye. German television and media did not give him any breathing space, prompting his family to consider how to protect him from such invasive attention. Meanwhile, Andre Rieu continued to support his talented protégé, paying for his education in violin and piano, ensuring a promising musical career worthy of his abilities.

Today, Akim is a teenager, and his love for the violin continues to grow. With his virtuosity and perfect pitch, he effortlessly memorizes and reproduces the most challenging compositions. Although he has made several appearances on television shows, he leads a relatively quiet life. Akim maintains a close relationship with his idol and friend, Andre Rieu, who recognized and nurtured his amazing talent.
