R&B chanteuse Shy'm vaulted to overnight success in 2006 when her debut LP, Mes Fantaisies, entered the French Top Ten. Born Tamara Marthe in Trappes on November 28, 1985, she began singing and dancing lessons as a child. After graduating at 17, she cut her first demo session and traveled to Paris, eventually befriending rapper K-Maro, who tapped her to guest on "Histoire de Luv," a single from his 2005 sophomore LP, Million Dollar Boy. Adopting the alias Shy'm -- a moniker drawn from her reserved manner combined with her father's Martinique heritage -- she completed her debut, Mes Fantaisies, in 2006, scoring a pair of Top Five singles with "Femme de Couleur" and "Victoire." ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music GuideMore
