We recently connected with King Rem and have shared our conversation below.

King, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

It’s clear and understood that artists are constantly learning and evolving, just as we do as human beings. “Learning” my craft to me isn’t really a linear path to some goal of mastery. In many ways, I’ve unlearned a lot of things that I found no longer useful. I have also relearned things that I maybe took for granted and now see the importance of that concept or thing. There no trophy or record deal or adulation that will ever make me feel as if I learned the craft to mastery. To master something, I believe, is to realize you’re only just beginning. I just want to continue to take what God gave, and show gratitude within it.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’ve been intrigued with music for as long as I can remember. I come from a somewhat musical family, and was in various iterations of band throughout school. I was captivated by Hip Hop at an early age when my mother bought me a Fat Boys vinyl. I was probably 4 years old.

I arrive in this station in life just constantly being in love with the science of music.

I’m a producer in both classic and contemporary aspects, composer, instrumentalist, music scholar, and arranger. I offer general production, film and commercial composing, and co-production services. I solve an array of problems from fixing poor mixes, replaying samples that will not clear, recording additional instrumental parts for other producers, and other various writing and production assistance.

What sets me apart from others in my field is that I completely and separately understand production and performance. Sometimes less is more, and sometimes less is bland. I also have a large musical vocabulary, so I can reference inspiration from a rather large pool of data.

I am most proud of being recognized and respected across many aspects of music, and across many genres and generations, purely bases on my knowledge and talent.

How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?

Generally, I believe people, if they are so inclined, could fully lean into the artistic expressions of the artists around them, much like they do the celebrity artists they admire. They could, again, if they are so inclined, become true evaluators of art, rather than just habitual consumers of pop culture.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

I’m not sure if I would call it rewarding, but it is edifying to know that I am on the right path, doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing with my life.
