Salem Al Fakir

Salem Al Fakir, born on October 27, 1981, in Sweden—now there’s a guy who’s been around the block a few times in the music and film game. If you’ve ever bopped your head to the soundtrack of "We Are Your Friends" (2015), you’ve probably heard his handiwork—even if you didn’t realize it. The man’s got a knack for weaving catchy tunes into stories, making those cinematic moments hit just right. He’s not just hanging around behind the scenes, though—Salem’s been front and center as an actor too, popping up in flicks like "Jönssonligan - Den perfekta stöten" (2015) and the quirky "I rymden finns inga känslor" (2010). That last one? A total gem from Swedish cinema, brimming with dry humor and offbeat charm. Off-screen, Salem’s got his own thing going on. Since January 28, 2012, he’s been married to Caroline Lavenius, and the two of them have a kid together. Family life, music, movies—he’s juggling it all, and honestly, seems to be doing a pretty good job of it. He’s one of those multi-talented folks you kind of envy, but also can’t help rooting for. Salem’s blend of creativity and real-life warmth has made him a familiar face (and sound) in Sweden and beyond. So yeah, when you see his name pop up in the credits, pay attention—you’re in for something good.
