Discovered on the Montreal hip-hop scene in the 1990s, notably with the group LMDS, he achieved international success from 2004 with the single "Femme Like U" from the album "La Good Life". His music is distinguished by its alternation of French and English, and by a blend of influences drawn from hip-hop, R&B, pop and electronic sounds.

After his success as a performer, Cyril Kamar built a career as a producer, artistic director and music entrepreneur. He founded several production and artist-development companies, discovered and supported the launch of singer Shy'm, among others, and has collaborated with various figures in the music industry.

In the 2020s, he resumed live and recording activity, notably to mark the twentieth anniversary of "La Good Life" and "Femme Like U".

At the same time, he has been developing projects at the crossroads of music, image and contemporary art. Together with his wife Anne-Sophie Mignaux, he founded Maison Keï Akai, an artists' house and art gallery in Montreal (Canada).
