Born Damian Beckett in Jamaica on February 24, 1977, the singer broke through with "Ghetto Story" from his major label debut album, sparking a wave of similar "story" songs across dancehall.

Biography
Cham (born Damian Beckett, February 24, 1977) is a Jamaican dancehall singer who became synonymous with one of the 2000s' most influential riddims. His 2006 single "Ghetto Story" from his major label debut album of the same name didn't just chart—it spawned a subgenre, with multiple artists releasing their own "story" tracks in response. The track proved so potent that despite rebranding from Baby Cham to Cham in 2005, he remains widely known by his original stage name among global audiences. He is currently signed to Atlantic Records. As a male Jamaican singer, Cham represents the island's enduring influence on global pop and urban music. Born under the sign of Pisces, Cham embodies the water sign's intuitive storytelling and emotional vulnerability—traits central to dancehall's narrative power [F1, enrichments]. Life-path number 5 amplifies his role as a cultural disruptor: the numerology of adaptability, freedom, and reinvention aligns with how "Ghetto Story" itself reshaped the genre's vocal landscape [F1, enrichments]. Singers perform live, record albums, and collaborate with producers to craft their sound—a practice Cham has sustained across three decades in the music industry.
