Salaam Remi

salaam-remi-dub

For us, the name Salaam Remi is automatically associated with raw talent and artistry. The Trini-Bajan music producer is the man behind hits by The Fugees, Nas, Ini Kamoze, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys and Miguel, just to name a few. At this year’s SXSW, the super-producer and self-described “talent developer” is throwing his own official showcase, “Presented By Salaam Remi and Louder Than Life/Sony Music” at the venue, Remedy, on Friday night. The lineup includes Sweet Da Kid, Collie Buddz, Mack Wilds, U.K. singer Liam Bailey (who’s currently working with Remi on his debut album) and the Grammy-nominated Remi himself.—Kieran Meadows
