Salaam Remi Answers Questions About How To Break Through

In this question-and-answer segment at the end of the one-on-one interview, the producer says, "first you've got to have it and then you've got to expose it."

In 2013 at Florida Chapter's GRAMMY futureNOW event, James McKinney followed his interview with producer/composer Salaam Remi by taking questions from the audience. The answer to many questions about how to make it was boiled down by Remi to "first you've got to have it and then you've got to expose it." His advice to one artist about creative control cautioned about building the wrong business side too soon. "Things are negotiable but once someone is paying for something," said Remi, "then you are in another space with it, so it's about how much you can get it together before it even gets that far." He also makes the point that for artists who need a team behind them, they need to find the right team. Yet through it all, Remi believes, "The cream rises, it's always about having the best material."
