Comment: Fails the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO - interviews with the individual are primary sources. The Allmusic reference just cites his name (nothing more) and Apple Music is not a reliable independent source. The references need to provide significant coverage about the individual - not coverage about another artist's album, which he co-contributed a single track.

Career

Production and songwriting
[edit]Kalimi co-wrote "Pause" for Pitbull's sixth studio album Planet Pit (2011), credited under his own name and as "Affect".[1] Planet Pit was certified platinum in Canada.[5] "Pause" was later featured in the 2014 DreamWorks Animation film Mr. Peabody & Sherman.[1]
