"Ballet couldn't contain me anymore. I was becoming a songwriter, I was singing and going out a lot to dance clubs, to listen to some cool electronic music."


Born in 1982 in Dakar, Senegal, Almamy started out as a dancer and an actor in his early teens, performing locally until he won a scholarship to study and dance in Paris in the late nineties.

After relocating to New York in 2002, to study at the famed Broadway Dance Center, Almamy found himself immersed in the club scene and writing songs.

Pairing an androgynous squeal of a voice and insistent melodies over skeletal instrumentations, Almamy has defintiely created a sound of his own.

Give an ear to French Kiss and the bonus remix of Like You Do by En Masse. Definite androgynical ferocity!
