Jahlaam (a mesh of her name Khadijah Salaam) is an electric soul artist born in Philly but raised in Atlanta. Her earliest memory of herself singing was when she was four. A Whitney Houston song played around her childhood home and she happily sang along. Throughout her grade school years she would catch the ears of her family especially her dad who encouraged her to sing often as he enlisted her in several talent shows. In elementary school she played flute and was apart of the school choir. She even got to sing “The Greatest Love of All” alongside some of her peers for her elementary school graduation. She continued attending chorus up until high school. Around this time she began writing but perceived her lyrics to be too amateur. After high school Jahlaam would pursue college to please her family and placed making music on the back burner. However she could not keep away the urge for making music. Eventually she came back around to creating what she loves most and began churning out lyrics upon lyrics while seeking out music that would fit her vibes. She is set to release her new R&B single “Everything” on May 1st.

Here we are after much chiseling, washing, and tinkering, Jahlaam's "Everything" single hath bloomed!
We started her "FLOW[ER]" project back in late October of 2k14. After meeting and speaking about endless things with her one evening at a Starbucks in midtown Atlanta, I started, in her car that night, playing her a few tracks I had in cue. She showed much love to the original backing track to "Everything" which I had titled "Everything Is Everything" at the time. From there, we spent lots of session just going back and forth cultivating the track, and eventually we settled on the greatest that she's put forth. I eventually created a remix to the track which we are let to release. Jahlaam started to perform Everything in March of 2k15, and from here we are just looking for endless blooming! - Tabias Scot

Here we are two months from the release of Jahlaam's first single "Everything" and she has followed up by releasing the remix just in time for the hard summer heat. In contrast to the sensual and alluring nature of the original, the remix comes in with a spell of ethereal synths and rocks out with hard electronic grit. The remix features vocals of the original gently dancing upon the landscape of House esque backbeats and synths all tied together to a robust and gritty bassline.
Creating this beast wasn't all that simple. There were at least 4 different revisions in the span of 6 months. At the time, Everything was still in the process of being recorded, but I was so satisfied with Jahlaam's voice that I couldn't help but fool around with making a little remix. I intended on it being a little gag, but after having sent it to Jahlaam and finding out she loved it, I grew more attached to it.
We went back on forth on "the drop" especially with me being indecisive when creating a piece of work, and thinking nothing sounds good. I sent her prints of the different versions, and she'd always refer back to "THAT ONE" (the version before my spiral of changes).
I then literally named the session "THAT ONE".
I knew it'd probably sound cool if the tune incrementally rose in excitement by focusing in on the key parts of the original song, and then leave out with the grand "EVERYTHING" hook as the finale (but only once to tease you to go and listen to it again).
After switching out many synths, drums, etc, I finally came to my senses when it was super close to releasing (because that's just me, lol). Overall, I think we did a fantastic job, and I'm happy for her to have released it! Super proud of her! Now I just hope people think to throw it on and get lit the f** up to it!
Listen below! Soon to be on iTunes & Spotify. - Tabias Scot
