Martin Bresso, known by his stage name Tchami, is a French producer and DJ from Paris. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Future house genre.
Tchami most commonly produces "Future house" music, and came into widespread recognition after releasing a remix of "Go Deep" by Janet Jackson. Tchami has done several supporting tours with successful electronic music artists such as Skrillex, Diplo, and DJ Snake.
Tchami began using the stage name while in Africa, and is also attributed to a number of remixes and collaborations with DJ Snake, AlunaGeorge, Kaleem Taylor, Oliver $ and Jimi Jules, Mercer, Martin Garrix, Candyland, Jack Ü, and AC Slater. The original single "Promesses" attained a peak position of number 7 on the UK Charts.
He first started using the term "future house" as a tag on his SoundCloud posts which eventually became recognized in the electronic music industry.
On December 5, 2013, Tchami released his first EP "Promesses" for free under the Fool's Gold Records label. Both of the EP's tracks were re-released as singles; "Shot Caller" on 17 December 2014, and "Promesses" on January 4, 2015 under Ministry of Sound, which features vocals from Kaleem Taylor. The latter peaked at number 7 on the Official Singles Chart. On April 18, 2014, Tchami released his debut single "Untrue" under the Spinnin' Records label. Tchami had co-wrote DJ Snake's and Lil Jon's hit single "Turn Down for What".
