The
multi-leveled musical world of Grammy nominated producer Salaam Remi takes on
new dimensions with the release of Salaam Remi: On In The Chamber, and its
first single, the title track "One In The Chamber." Available
digitally now and released through Remi's label imprint Flying Buddha, the
track is a collaboration with another Grammy nominated artist, platinum-selling
R&B singer-songwriter Akon. The full
album debuts digitally September 30, and features additional guest appearances
by Ne-Yo, Corinne Bailey Rae, Stephen Marley and others in a fully
orchestrated, richly imagined contemporary collection, encompassing a wide
range of styles and musical forms.
"Loving
music of all genres and collaborators who feel the same is the core of this Lp.
I'm pleased to make this the first of many journeys thru the world of music.
Please join me for the ride," says Salaam Remi, Head of Flying Buddha
Records and the Executive Vice President of A&R/Production at Sony Music
Entertainment.
As the
Executive VP of A&R and Production at Sony Music, Remi works with the
entire Sony Music family in addition to running his new imprint Louder Than
Life, which includes the sub-imprints RemiFa and Flying Buddha. Grammy
nominated for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical in 2013, Remi has worked with
Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Miguel, NaS, The Fugees, Jazmine Sullivan, Nelly
Furtado, Cee-Lo Green and Usher, among others. He has also worked on a variety
of film projects including Blood Diamond, Gnomeo and Juliet and Tower Heist to
name a few. He scored the film Sparkle starring Whitney Houston and Jordin
Sparks, the Mike Tyson documentary, TYSON, and he was Executive Music Producer
on the films Sex and the City 1 and 2 and Rush Hour 3.
"Salaam
Remi is a total music man – as a writer, arranger, producer and now as an
artist. 'In The Chamber' is a complete beautiful trip," says Chuck
Mitchell, Senior Vice President of Sony Masterworks.
Flying
Buddha is an imprint of the Sony Masterworks label group. Tawk Tomahawk, by the
critically acclaimed Australian future-soul band Hiatus Kaiyote, was the first
release from Flying Buddha/Sony Masterworks.
"Salaam
has the unique ability to pull together diverse artists in a cohesive and
intricate way. The outcome is extremely creative and musical. We are thrilled
to be working with him," says Bogdan Roscic,
