Early life

Tamara Marthe was born on 28 November 1985 in

zouk—a French Caribbean music genre—and R&B. From an early age, she became interested in dancing and singing. She began taking lessons in dancing and she earned the nickname "Spicy Tam" as a result of the effort she put in it.[citation needed
]

In academics, she obtained a baccalaureat

portmanteau, derived from "shy" and "Martinique".[citation needed] 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".[2]

Career

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.[3]
Shy'm explored various themes for the album, such as recurring love and
Fort Boyard
.

Shy'm's musical style is a mix of

Caméléon, having a deeper exploration of this sound through dance
.

In 2011, Shy'm won the second season of

Danse avec les stars – the French version of Dancing with the Stars
. She was partnered with professional dancer Maxime Dereymez. On November 19, 2011, they won the competition. After winning the second season in 2011, she joined the jury for season 3, 4, 9 & 10.
