History
Early life and musician career
Rasmus Faber was born in Stockholm, Sweden. His father was
Producer career
Around age 21, Rasmus got involved in the Stockholm
This success, and subsequent requests to perform as a DJ, lead Rasmus into starting his career as a DJ. Later tracks released by him include Get Over Here (also available in a remix version by Axwell), Are You Ready, and Good Times Come Back. Together with Alf Tumble, in 2011, Rasmus released Wilder Side, which featured soul legend Candi Staton. Rasmus Faber has made remixes for, among many others: Kaskade, Axwell, Miguel Migs, Junior Jack, Dennis Ferrer, and Sandy Rivera.
Over the last decade, Rasmus has become something of a multi-instrumentalist and procurer of rare and sometimes exotic instruments (and performers) such as the nyckelharpa and tongue drum (used on YouTube virtual celebrity project Artiswitch) which has allowed for daring and boundary-pushing scoring and soundtrack production. Artistic progression with Rasmus’s own artist releases is also a keystone to his longevity and continued popularity exemplified by the fact his most recent artist album Two Left Feel (2019) was recorded and performed entirely with live instruments and analogue techniques by Rasmus himself. In addition, his recent very ‘non-house’ down-tempo single Be Real has become his most popular release to date with more than 24 million streams on Spotify and counting.[7]
Career in Japan and anime
In 2006, after starting a collaboration with Japanese record label
Expanding his collaboration with Victor Entertainment, Rasmus continued to release two compilation album follow ups with his own material, called "2 Far" and "So Far 3", two DJ mix albums; "Love:Mixed" and "Love:Mixed 2", and his own artist album with its remix version "Where We Belong" and "Where We Belong - RaFa's Epic Journey".
He has also compiled several compilation albums, as well as the series "Rasmus Faber Presents", introducing new artists to the Japanese market such as; Simon Grey, Opolopo, and Richard Earnshaw.
