YAMÊ

Yamê is a gifted musician. With a background in jazz, rap and African music, and having lived between Cergy-Pontoise and Cameroon, Yâmé’s musical baggage gives him a rare propensity for transformation and sensitivity. His latest mini-album, ELOWI, sees him venturing into exalted melodies, the fruit of years of scouring Parisian jam sessions. Drill, French chanson, rumba, you name it. And it’s all sublimated. After making a name for himself on Tik Tok, Yamê, remixed by Timbaland and flanked by great critical success, went from strength to strength, winning the prize for male revelation of the year at the latest Victoires de la musique awards.
