Rami, born to Palestinian parents, began his music career at the age of 13 when he began playing bass in a band in Stockholm.[1][2][3]
His talent for songwriting was already in evidence as he wrote many of the group's songs. Yacoub had also a short singing career but then decided to give all his attention to writing and producing instead.[3] By 18 he had discovered production when, with the aid of a "sampler, a little mixing board, synthesizers",[4] he began doing remixes.
In 1998, he was approached by Max Martin, who was looking for a new production partner, and asked to join the legendary Cheiron Studios in Stockholm. Rami's first collaboration with Martin was producing the hit "...Baby One More Time" that launched the career of Britney Spears.[2]
Following ten years of service, Rami split amicably from Maratone in early 2008 because he felt that "he needed to go [his] own way." After taking several years off to take a breather and to assess what he wanted to do next, he began putting together his own production group based at his Kinglet Studios in Los Angeles and Stockholm, Sweden.[4]
