Rema Reveals His Pre-Show Ritual
Afrobeats sensation Rema has shared a glimpse into what happens moments before he hits the stage.
During a conversation with Dazed at Milan Fashion Week, where he walked for Diesel, the singer described his pre performance routine as a mix of ritual and preparation.
Rema revealed that he takes a shot of tequila, smokes a cigarette and says a prayer before performing.
He also makes sure to connect with his team and complete sound checks to confirm that every detail is in place.
A little Tequila, a little cigarette, pray, tap in with the team and make sure everything is on cue.
The “Calm Down” hitmaker explained that performing demands intense breath control and stamina, making it more physically taxing than walking a runway.
He added that Sudanese cultural live music has recently influenced his listening choices, while admitting that cigarettes remain his biggest weakness.
