Db Artists Musique Podcast - 149 - Hamma

FROM TUNIS TO PARIS Hamma is originally from Tunisia, a child of the south. He grew up surrounded by traditional oriental sounds and electronic music that was very popular in the country. Passionate about breakdancing, which he practiced at the time with his childhood friends, he developed an interest in Western music and culture, both urban and otherwise: Hip Hop, Pop, etc. AND ONE DAY, ALMOST BY CHANCE, HE CAME ACROSS TURNTABLES IN DJERBA... At the age of 20, as part of his studies, he moved temporarily to Cannes: a new country, a new culture, new rules. Fascinated by social diversity and musical richness, those first moments in France symbolized for him the discovery and realization of his art and talent. He then set out for the capital, where new experiences and encounters would lead him to a promising career. CHAMPION OF FRANCE, THE ULTIMATE RECOGNITION! Curious, determined, and entirely self-taught, his technique improved, and his creativity became limitless. This thirst for learning, for refining his skills, and for succeeding in this field drove him to sign up for the championship organized by Red Bull. HIS STYLE AND TALENT WIN EVERYONE OVER! HE SEIZES THE TITLE OF CHAMPION OF FRANCE. This title became a real springboard for his career, both in France and internationally. It also led him to compete for the world title in Taiwan, in the same competition, where he placed in the top 5. ATYPICAL It’s hard to define the talent, technique, and style of Hamma in a single word, other than “atypical,” given how comfortable he is with a multitude of musical styles (electro, house, afrotrap, R&B, Hip Hop, etc.), no matter the setting or the audience. In a club, a stadium, a museum, on the roof of a church, or in the depths of the desert, nothing can throw him off when he’s at the turntables. Even after the pandemic, which shut down the nightlife scene for many months, Hamma found unconventional venues to keep playing, having fun, and offering musical content to his followers. To appreciate the full scope of his talent and creativity, follow him on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok... He also never runs out of ideas when it comes to bringing his French audience together, thanks to his own “Hamma & Friends” events, organized since 2019. DJ WITHOUT BORDERS Very active internationally, Hamma is regularly invited abroad and has found an audience in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Dubai, Qatar, and many more places: Taiwan, Cyprus, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco... Every summer, he collaborates with Mosaïque FM, a Tunisian radio station, with a weekly show featuring one hour of an exclusive set.
