Biography
Originally from Normandy, the French reggae singer Naâman has opened up to other genres such as hip-hop and soul, with his DJ Fatbabs. Born in Dieppe on February 25, 1990, Martin Mussard, his real name, grew up in Offranville and developed a passion for reggae at a very early age, which led him to sing in the group Young Kah, with musicians who became his accompanists under the name Deep Rockers. His meeting in 2011 with DJ Fatbabs proved decisive. The latter, who joined the group, also provided the rhythms and after a first EP together, Deep Rockers (2012), the team worked on the album Deep Rockers, Back at Yard (2013), with the participation of Cutty Ranks and choice accompanists with Sam Clayton, Sly Dunbar and Dalton Browne, whom he met in Jamaica. Between tours and festival appearances, the band returned to the studio to record the EP Know Yourself (2015) and the album Rays of Resistance (2016), with guests Nemir and Soom T. The gold-certified album took Naâman to the Olympia in Paris, before a tour in the Pacific. In 2017, the album Beyond, released under his own label Big Scoop Records, welcomed the legend of Toots & the Maytals, singer Toots Hibbert, and opened up to Latin sounds. The tours continued, in France and abroad, leading to the release of the live album A Live Story (2019), when the Covid-19 pandemic immobilized the singer and his band. Delayed by two years due to confinement, the album Temple Road, released in 2022, nevertheless welcomes a cast including Groundation, Alborosie, Dub Inc, Bigga Ranx, Clay and Friends, Marcus Gad, Karishma and Losso Keita. It also turns out to be the testament of Naâman who, diagnosed with a brain tumor, dies on February 7, 2025 at the age of 34.
