Under the stage name
Tchami, Parisian DJ Martin Bresso produces what he refers to as "future house," a blend of smooth, uplifting deep house with flashier EDM tendencies. Originally known for remixes and sample-based tracks,
Tchami has achieved chart success with singles that feature guest vocals by
Kaleem Taylor and
Stacy Barthe and have rather melancholic lyrical themes.
Tchami co-produced three tracks on
Lady Gaga's 2013 album
ARTPOP and began producing remixes and original songs that year, releasing the tracks "Promesses" (featuring
Taylor) and "Shot Caller" as a free digital single. Both tracks were later re-released as stand-alone singles and became successful, with "Promesses" hitting the Top Ten of the U.K. singles chart. "Untrue" also appeared in 2014, and "After Life" (featuring
Barthe) and "Missing You" (featuring
Taylor and
AC Slater) followed in 2015. After taking several months off,
Tchami returned in 2016 with the singles "SIAW" and "Prophecy" with
Malaa. He also joined
Malaa,
DJ Snake, and
Mercer on their collective Pardon My French tour. The following year, he delivered the Revelations EP, which included collaborations with
Luke James and
Taiki Nulight. In 2018, he issued a pair of EPs, No Redemption and Aurra/Shades.
Tchami's debut full-length, Year Zero, arrived in October 2020 and featured collaborations with
Gunna,
ZHU, Suburban Plaza, and others. ~ Paul Simpson
