about Salem Al Fakir
Salem Al Fakir is a 35 year old singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Stockholm, Sweden, who released three solo albums - his debut "This Is Who I Am" in January 2007; his second album "Astronaut" in March 2009; and his third album "Ignore This" in March 2010.
How would you begin to describe Salem's music? Incredibly diverse, with influences ranging from soul to jazz to classical to pop to rock to 70s/80s retro and even a bit of reggae and prog rock! You can't pigeonhole Salem's music - no two songs sound the same, but they are all wonderful examples of musical excellence with a timeless quality.
Although Salem is no longer making music as a solo artist, in recent years he has written and produced with a number of artists on different musical projects and has achieved international recognition for his work as songwriter and featured vocalist for Avicii and also Axwell and Ingrosso. He is currently one half of the duo Vargas and Lagola, along with his songwriting/production collaborator, the brilliant Vincent Pontare.

If you have recently discovered Salem through his work with other artists, then please take some time to discover his solo work. You will not be disappointed!
