Spintek Reme

John Reme aka Spintek has been making his presence felt in the music and entertainment industry for several years now. Born in Jamaica Queens New York raised by Caribbean parents Spin was fortunate to have some of the experiences some people would kill for. By the age of 12 Spin was already a talent show rap star amongst his peers at school as well as his neighborhood. Spin has been what we know today as an Original B-Boy, crafting and perfecting his skills in Hip Hop. Spin understands Hip Hop as the culture that showed him the light and therefore embraced every part of it from break dancing, graffiti, DJ'ing and MC'ing. Keeping his talent sharp for the future years to come, Spin worked at being a solo artist and was recognized by the late Jam Master Jay who suggested that he should stick around the studio. This lead to Spin becoming very close with another talented group JMJ mentored that we know today as ONYX - the multi-platinum group on JMJ/Def Jam Records. The characteristics and skills that Spin displayed impressed the group so much that they invited him into their crew of potential artists that would be produced under the ONYX brand. They also let him live with them for 3 years while they were going from a gold certified group into a platinum phenomenon. You can only imagine the experiences and the people Spin has come across during that era of Hip Hop. After what Spin calls years of training he moved back to Queens from New Jersey started a family and looked to do his own music being that ONYX was becoming too busy to help him how we would like and they were moving to California to work in Hollywood on several movies and television series. Spin formed a group with his two long time friends called QSR pronounced kwa-zar. They ended up getting a recording contract on Universal Records and had 4 songs in rotation on New York's #1 station for hip hop Hot97 FM. Remixes with Mary J Blige and Lucy Pearl were amongst those records. Fast forward to the future.... the group lost their deal to a merger beyond anyone's control and went their separate ways. Today Spin works as a Project Manager for JMI+ Media Agency and has received his B.S. in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University. Spin still has a passion for music and entertainment but more in the professional behind the scenes aspect. Follow @Spintek on Twitter to stay up on his latest updates, projects, and events.
