From Simple Beginnings to International Recognition
Salammusik was founded by Ashraaf bin ahmad Azlan, known by his nickname Salam. Salam, aged 27 (born on 8 August 1988) was furthering his studies in Sound and Music Design at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. Since the campus’ music studio was still under construction then, he built his own studio at home to carry out his assignments and coursework. This enabled him to experiment with various kinds of music. Following the successful completion of his studies in the year 2008, he started to aspire to create his own music.

First Album
In 2012, Salammusik released their first album entitled Salam Musik, which won the “Best Album Of The Year” award. People started to recognize the music genre propagated by this band.
