Salem

Salem, more formally referred to as Salem al Fakir, is really a Swedish alternative vocalist/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with an eclectic soul-pop design who made his chart-topping recording debut in 2007 with THAT IS Who We Am. Given birth to Lars Salem al Fakir on Oct 27, 1981, in Huddinge, Sweden, he started understanding how to play the violin at age group four and later on analyzed jazz piano. Salem started his recording profession like a support musician, adding violin and piano to Governor Andy’s Torra Benens Dal (2002) and ?-rjan Hultén Trio’s Ayouni (2005), among additional albums. He also worked well closely using the Swedish rap duo Snook, generating a lot of their second recording, Är (2006). Like a single artist, Salem produced his industrial documenting debut in 2006 with Desire Lady, a five-track EP whose name track reached the very best 30 from the Swedish singles graph. He produced his full-length recording debut in 2007 with THAT IS Who I Am. Released in colaboration with EMI, THAT IS Who I Am topped the albums graph and spawned the singles “Great Track,” “It’s Accurate,” and “THAT IS Who I Am.” Furthermore, a dance remix of “It’s Accurate” by Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso was a golf club hit. Not just a industrial blockbuster, THAT IS Who I Am was also a crucial success, generating Salem seven Swedish Grammy nominations, three which (Finest Newcomer, Finest Producer, Finest Composer) he received. In the mean time, he collaborated using the group H3FK (essentially a continuation from the ?-rjan Hultén Trio, where he takes on violin and piano) around the recording Nubisha Nätter (2008). Known until this aspect as Salem al Fakir, he shortened his name to just Salem for the discharge of his second recording, Astronaut (2009). A HIGH Ten strike, Astronaut contains the singles “It’s Just You, Pt. 2,” “Astronaut,” and “Roxy.”
