Jean-Marie Salhani

French musician and publisher, born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1940.

Jean-Marie Salhani arrived in France in 1966. He founded the group Solitude in 1969 in which he plays bass. In the early 1970s, Jean-Marie Salhani decided to turn to commercials, film and radio music. In 1975 he founded the publishing company [l=Editions Jean-Marie Salhani] and later in 1979, the label JMS.

In 1983 he created another label [l=Cream Records (3)], for licensing in France the recordings of foreign artists produced on other labels.

In 2006 he created his own distribution structure, [l=Sphinx Distribution] for both labels and [l=Abstract Logix]

"Publishing is my first and only job [...] from the only concern to fully valorize the artist and his work." Jean-Marie Salhani was Vice President of the SACEM (2007-2008) and President of the MRSA.
