Having spent a large part of her career living and working in Germany, singer-songwriter, Reema, relocated back to her home in Brighton, UK. She creates bitter-sweet, delicate folk songs with lyrics that explore being human. Her themes run through self-esteem to coping with loss to the importance of kindness. Her deeply personal concerts are all about communicating with her audience, sharing stories and often tears. She speaks openly about her experiences as an autistic woman and her struggles with anxiety. 

 

Her first releases were live, analogue and computer-free vinyl records, ‘The Lowswing Sessions’ and 'Memories Fade to Tape' with arrangements by award-winning producer, Guy Sternberg. The records both sold out on their release dates and ‘The Lowswing Sessions’ is now about to be re-pressed for a third time. Reema then released 2 digital EPs , ‘Lioness’ and ‘Rooftops and Riversides’ with her long time friend and collaborator, Stefan Baumann producing with beautiful woodwind and brass arrangements. 

They were well received with radio play in both the UK and Germany from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Suffolk, Scala FM, Talk Radio, NDR Kultur, HR2 and Radio Eins.

 

During her songwriting career, Reema has had songs she has written featured in movie soundtracks like Twilight Eclipse, Love Rosie and Dragon Rider and has worked with amazing producers like Stephen Street and Ethan Johns. 

 

Reema is now about to release her next record with Night House’s Nick Williams on production delving into electronic soundscapes with beautiful organic accents.

 

She has also collaborated again with Guy Sternberg and Lowswing Records on another live, analogue and computer free LP, One for Sorrow, Two for Joy. The record features 10 new songs with Hammond organ legend, Dan Hemmer and incredible jazz drummer Tilo Weber making up a minimal but powerful arrangement.
