Rema's musical odyssey has propelled him and Afrobeats to global prominence, transcending borders and captivating audiences worldwide. With critically acclaimed projects, awards, chart topping singles and sold-out tours internationally, Mavin Global artist Rema is on his unassailable ascent to worldwide superstardom. His stellar self-titled debut in 2019 will be remembered for defining a new era in African pop and his follow up effort Rave and Roses is the highest streamed project by an African artist. Just in the past year, the 24 year old artist joined the illustrious Billions club (having amassed over seventy billion streams overall), earned a Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in "Calm Down" featuring SelenaGomez and rounded out the year with a sold out stadium show at The O2 in London UK performing to over 20,000 fans. He's claimed many "firsts" in his illustrious career including a Guinness World Record (for the first No. 1 hit on MENA charts) and being the highest charting African artist in history on the Billboard Hot 100 and earn over one billion streams in the US — making Afrobeats history. The following year saw Rema release one of his boldest works of music yet, the sophomore album HEIS. The percussive and high-octane project was Rema's exploration of the Afrobeats genre that was pioneered by the luminaries that came before him. The album was embraced by fans and critics alike appearing on many "Best of 2024" albums list with Rolling Stone crowning it as the "the strongest contender for the best Afrobeats album of the year." HEIS also earned Rema his first GRAMMY nomination in the "Best Global Music Album" category. From the outset, his mission has remained steadfast, never wavering in his relentless pursuit of excellence and with this new wave of music, Rema is set to ascend the throne while putting his city on.
