Born in Saint-Claude in Guadeloupe,
THIERRY CHAM appears in 1986 in a show organised by “KASSAV” the West Indian
dream, in which he is a semi-finalist. From this encounter with the KASSAV
musicians, Frédérick Caracas and César Durcin, the group KOU DOUBL will be
born, which marks the real debut of this artist’s career. After two albums
and the success of “JUMP UP” and “ENSEMBLE OU NON“ in 1993, THIERRY CHAM releases
his first album the following year : “ULTIME CONFESSION”. The title “COUP
DE FOUDRE” then meets with enormous success and is placed number one in all
the hit parades of the Afro-Caribbean network. Always under the inspiration
of romanticism and sensuality, the album “NUIT BLANCHE” comes into being in
1995 and confirms the growing potential and popularity of this young artist.
In 1996 he offers us an album regrouping the best of his recordings with a
novel version of the title “Invitation” and a summer tour with RMC. In 1997
his third solo album “Naturel” is released. It has an enormous success with
the titles Ciel and Baby. In 1998 THIERRY CHAM sets the waves on fire with
his three title CD : “ENFLAME W” “TE SEDUIRE” and “IVRESSE”. The video made
on ENFLAME W is highly conspicuous due to the sensuality that it released.
For the year 2000 THIERRY CHAM offers us his new album “SIMPLEMENT”. Rich
in original tones, this album is very quickly adopted by local radios as well
as the growing public. The three titles coming out of this opus quickly became
successes throughout the Afro-Caribbean network and the Indian Ocean. These
titles are 7e Ciel “SIMPLEMENT” (among other songs dedicated to his late artist
friend Gilles FLORO) and the song OCEAN which is the hit song in this album.
On 2 December 2000 Thierry CHAM appears on a national channel in a variety
broadcasting programme HIT MACHINE by M6. On that same date, he gives a single
concert in Paris in the capital’s prestigious CIGALE hall where a great number
of national and international artists have performed. Success is guaranteed
for this young artist who will further surprise us.
