Femi Fem

Femi Williams (aka Femi Fem) kicked off his career in 1990 as a member of the groundbreaking three-piece The Young Disciples with Carleen Anderson and Marco Nelson, a band which set the tone for the acid jazz movement in London, incorporating funk, soul, hip hop and breakbeats into their soundscape. After the chart success of the single Apparently Nothin' which came from their Mercury Award-nominated Road To Freedom album on Talkin' Loud Records, Femi became more involved in the behind-the-scenes aspect of the music industry which has found him in demand as a writer, producer, remixer, DJ and promoter, doing extensive production and remixing work with artists such as Ultra Nate, Estelle and Booty Luv, as well as working on tracks for artists as diverse as Justin Timberlake, Darkman, Mary J. Blige, Des'ree, D'Influence, The Pasadenas and Beyonce.
