He began his music career in churches with Alpha P. In 2018, Rema posted a viral freestyle on Instagram to D’Prince’s track “Gucci Gang”. The post caught the attention of D’Prince, who flew him to Lagos to offer a record deal to the young talent. Rema signed a record deal with D’Prince’s Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records owned by record producer Don Jazzy, in 2019.
He then released his self-titled debut EP Rema in 2019, which peaked at number 1 on Apple Music Nigeria. On May 21, 2019, Jonzing World and Mavins released the music video of “Dumebi,” a major breakout song from his self-titled EP, featuring a cameo appearance from Diana Eneje. The video was directed by Ademola Falomo and currently has 75 million views on YouTube.
Later that summer, one of his other popular songs from the EP gained more popularity when it was placed on former President Barack Obama’s summer playlist. In September 2020, Rema’s songs were included on the FIFA 21 soundtracks. In September 2021, Rema was unveiled as a brand ambassador for the popular soft drink Pepsi alongside his label mate Ayra Starr.
After signing the record deal with Jonzing World in 2019, Rema released his debut EP Rema and followed it with two more EPs, Freestyle and Bad Commando. He then released his debut album Rave & Roses on March 25, 2022. The album includes 16 tracks and features artists like 6lack, Chris Brown, AJ Tracey, and Yseult. The album charted 10 songs on the US Billboard Afrobeats Chart following its debut week. His single “Calm Down” began charting five months after its official release and became the most-viewed Afrobeats video on YouTube.
The song gained international fame when Selena Gomez recorded a remix of it. “Calm Down (Remix)” with Selena Gomez was released on August 26, 2022, and gradually gained popularity, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100, spending 57 weeks there, and topping many international charts. It also set and broke many world music records, winning awards such as the MTV Video Music Award for Best Afrobeats Video and the Billboard Music Award for Top Afrobeats Song. On November 7, 2022, Rema received an award on stage during his London concert as his songs achieved 1 billion streams worldwide.
In February 2023, Rema received the Digital Artist of the Year award at the Soundcity MVP Awards held at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos. In April 2023, Rema released a version of his debut album Rave & Roses titled Rave & Roses Ultra, containing an additional six tracks: “Charm,” “Hov,” “Reason You,” the remix of “Calm Down” with Selena Gomez, “Holiday,” and “Dunno Me,” which became the first African album to cross one billion streams on Spotify. On October 26, 2023, Rema released a 5-track EP named Ravage. On October 30, 2023, Rema performed at the Ballon d’Or ceremony held at the Theatre du Châtelet in Paris, France.
In 2019, South African music producer and artist Toya Delazy introduced a genre titled “Afrorave,” described as combining genres such as garage with Zulu lyrics. In May 2021, Rema announced he would be calling his sound “Afrorave,” a subgenre of Afrobeats with influences of Arabian and Indian music. This unique style has led to him having one of the strongest fanbases in the country, known as Ravers.
