Gims, formerly known as Maître Gims, is one of the most successful French-speaking artists of today. The rapper and singer combines urban music with influences from pop and African rhythms.
From collective to solo star
Gims began his career as a member of the group Sexion d'Assaut. However, he quickly surpassed this success as a solo artist. His albums regularly achieve diamond status in France, and hits such as «Bella» and «Sapés comme jamais» have made him famous throughout Europe.
His trademark: sunglasses
Gims stands out for his vocal versatility – he is equally adept at fast rap and melodic singing. In addition to music, he is also an entrepreneur and designer. His distinctive sunglasses, which he almost never takes off, have become his visual trademark.
