Tayc

Tayc, born Julien Bouadjie to Cameroonian parents in Marseille, France, has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in French R&B. His music beautifully fuses African rhythms, particularly those from Cameroon, with contemporary R&B and Afrobeats.

With his smooth vocals, often switching between French and occasional phrases in Cameroonian dialects, Tayc has created a signature style that's captivating audiences across Europe and beyond. His breakthrough came with the album "NYXIA," which showcased his unique sound and cemented his place in the French music scene.

What sets Tayc apart is his deliberate incorporation of his Cameroonian roots. While many artists with African heritage might dilute these influences to appeal to mainstream European audiences, Tayc embraces them, creating a sound that feels authentic and fresh.

His hit singles like "N'y pense plus" feature subtle Bikutsi rhythms, a traditional music style from Cameroon, while "Le temps" incorporates elements of Makossa, another Cameroonian genre made famous by artists like Manu Dibango.
