Michael Allan "Remo" Williams (born 8 February 1975) is an Australian entertainer & business entrepreneur. He is best known for his singing, acting & celebrity Impersonations. Remo is the co-founder of the 'Remo & Kelly Jade' brand, and creator of the elite martial art of 'Remokido.'

Early life

Remo was born on 8 February 1975 in Sydney, New South Wales. Remo struggled with bad health due to chronic asthma and took an interest in bodybuilding to improve his health and fitness. In 1990 at sixteen years of age Remo started winning state & national martial art tournaments.

Career

After finishing high school in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Remo worked in various types of jobs and eventually started his career in media. At first his media career seemed to be short lived due to the recession, Remo used his experience from working in the media to help launch his career as an entertainer. Although Remo had some experience in singing and acting, he traveled Australia working as a DJ and MC, before opening a talent agency in 1998 in which he managed entertainers and models. The agency had branches in three Australian states, which included New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. Remo went on to open a training centre for models in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, which seen some of the models win national competitions.

Due to the internet becoming more popular, the need for agents became less, enabling entertainers and models to promote themselves over the internet, so in 2003 Remo moved to Brisbane, Queensland taking up position as head of security for various security companies.

In 2006 Remo met 'Kelly Jade' and started various small businesses together, which is all now managed and promoted under the 'Remo & Kelly Jade' brand.

Injuries

In 2009 while working at a state Government run school at the Gold Coast, Queensland, Remo was asked to help show students how to long jump. Although the ground was marked, seeing that the ground was not dug up and filled with sand or saw dust, Remo questioned if it was safe enough to use. Remo was told by the supervising teacher that the management of the school assured it was safe. Remo continued to show the students, but was injured in the first jump which resulted in Remo tearing almost all of the quadricep muscle from the bone and shattering the knee bone of his right leg. Remo was unable to walk without crutches for eight months. Although the students of the school attended and won gold in long jump at the regional zone athletic carnival, the school's management seen that all teachers involved signed statutory declarations stating students did not do long jump at that school and denied asking Remo to demonstrate how to long jump, accusing Remo of running and jumping from the marked area of his own accord. Therefore not having witnesses to state otherwise, Remo was was left to cover the costs of his own medical needs and recovery. Due to continued suffering from his injuries, Kelly Jade now assists Remo when he instructs Remokido.

Fame

Since they had both finished high school, both Remo and Kelly Jade continued to study subjects in various industries whilst they worked. In 2010 after seeing Remo & Kelly Jade perform for primary school students as part of their study of 'Education,' school teachers and fellow University students told them that performing is what they should do. Remo returned to the entertainment industry, joined by Kelly Jade. Remo & Kelly Jade currently provide a large variety of entertainment for their fans of all ages, all around the world.
