Tamara Marthe (born 28 November 1985), better known as Shy'm /ˈʃaɪm/, is a French singer and actress. She released her first album, Mes fantaisies, in 2006 and has since released six more albums. She had three Platinum albums, including her number-one 2012 album, Caméléon.
Early life
[edit]Tamara Marthe was born on 28 November 1985 in Trappes (a suburb west of Paris).[1][2] In academics, she obtained a baccalaureat[3] at the age of seventeen. She says she is shy, but much less so than before when the mere idea of being on stage paralysed her with fright. But her passion has allowed her to overcome her shyness and she now takes "pleasure in putting herself in the crowd".[4]
Career
[edit]Rapper K.Maro agreed to feature her in the song "Histoire de luv" from his album. The song was recorded in Montréal. After that, she released her own album, Mes fantaisies. It was written, composed and produced by K.Maro.[5]
