Rema on Carrying Afrobeats to the World: "I Won’t Stop Until the Deed Is Done"
Afrobeats superstar Rema is on a mission, and he’s making sure the world hears it loud and clear. In a recent interview with Dazed, the Calm Down hitmaker opened up about his role in pushing African music and culture to a global audience.
“Unlike other cultures, there aren’t many of us representing where we’re from,” Rema said. “So I feel like I have to bring it with me every time. Still, I can’t stop to calculate impact because it’ll distract me. There’s more to do. And I won’t stop until the deed is done.”
From topping international charts to shutting down global stages, Rema has proven time and time again that Afrobeats is more than just a genre—it’s a movement. His success isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about making sure African music gets the recognition it deserves on the world stage.
With every record-breaking moment, from Calm Down’s historic Billboard run to his electrifying festival performances, Rema continues to solidify his place as a global ambassador for Afrobeats.
