Except for the first track, "Ultima vara", which received some airplay, the album was a commercial failure and the duo disbanded shortly after.

Sînă brought Marius Nedelcu, Mihai Gruia and Sorin Brotnei into the group, changing it from a duo to a boyband in 2001.

In 2006, they attempted to represent Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest with the single "Jokero", in collaboration with Romanian singer Nico.

The duo changed into a boyband when Sînă introduced Marius Nedelcu, Mihai Gruia and Sorin Brotnei to the group.

Their debut album În culori (In colors) was released in Romania on January 10, 2002 and included the hit single "Ți-am promis".

They rose to fame instantly when "Ți-am promis" ("I promised you") reached the peak of the Romanian Top 100 in winter 2001.

Some months later, it was eventually certified Platinum by the Uniunea Producătorilor de Fonograme din România.

Their fourth album, Poveste de viata (Life story) was also a huge success for the band.

The single was also included on the Just Dance: Vol 3 compilation album released by The Island Def Jam Music Group in 2010.

In 2011, Akcent signed a recording contract with Robbins Entertainment, and in May 2012 "My Passion" was officially released in the United States.

Then came the song "Feelings on Fire", which featured Ruxandra Bar and a music video that was filmed with the band members driving sports cars in Romania, on Transfagarasan.

In the northern-hemisphere summer of 2012, Akcent released the single "Chimie Intre Noi" ("Chemistry between us"), produced by Sînă.

As of December 2012, the group's music videos and songs on YouTube had been viewed close to 1 billion times, and they had more than 3 million fans on Facebook.
