Biography

Kashif Saleem (born Michael Jones in 1959) is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and record producer. Kashif became well-known from playing keyboards in the renowned funk band B.T. Express. He played synthesizer bass using the miniMoog while touring with the group. After leaving the band in the early 1980s, Kashif recorded demos with the band Stepping Stone, which led to his eventual solo signing with Arista Records.

Introduced to Arista by Gerry Griffith, its A&R director in 1983, his self-titled debut Kashif (1983) spawned the hits "I Just Gotta Have You (Lover Turn Me On)," "Stone Love," "Help Yourself to My Love," and "Say Something Love." With this release, Kashif was well received as an innovator in music, as R&B artists were only beginning to experiment with synthesizers and other electronic instruments. He is said to have been Arista Records' attempt to respond to Warner Bros. Records' Prince.

His other albums include Send Me Your Love and Condition of the Heart. On the album Love Changes, Exposé provided background vocals. 1989's Kashif, with the cover of the Four Tops' hit "Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got," "Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart," and "Are You the Woman."

His Grammy nominations are for the instrumentals "The Mood," "Call Me Tonight," "Edgartown Groove" featuring Al Jarreau, and "The Movie Song."

In 1994, Kashif received an invitation from the U.C.L.A. Extension program and created a course called Contemporary Record Production with Kashif. In August 1995, Kashif authored a book entitled Everything You'd Better Know About the Record Industry, as CEO of his Los Angeles-based Brooklyn Boy Books, Entertainment, and Information.

Wow I wish he would do something else. We need more artists like him. His voice is so smooth. I just saw him on Unsung with Evelyn "Champagne" King. Wow I miss his voice so much.

[A86]

LOVE THIS!

I love the "Kashif" sound and I love the fact that the way the word "lover" is enunciated in the chorus when they say "Lover turn me on!" sounds reminiscent of the way Michael Jackson would sing that in high note if he was in the song. It's like an extra bonus.

[jonesds11]

This is an ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT composition by this truly soulful vocal stylist!

I loved his work with Kenny G on the "G Force" recording with his special vocal talent in "Do Me Right." So funky!! His production effort knows no bounds!
