The artist born Kymani Floyd is a pop star of his own design, using his expansive vocal range and innovative spirit to allow us to enjoy the world through a lens that curiously explores longing and romance in the digital age. His music bridges the gap between his Jamaican identity and fascination with 90s breakbeat music and he has become a staple performer in the NYC’s emerging underground electronic queer scene.
Tama Gucci released his Almost Blue EP in 2021 which grapples with the challenges of transitional stages while, in the same vein, insisting on remaining unfazed and optimistic about the impermanence of emotional purgatory. In 2022, Tama released Almost Blue (After Hours Deluxe) featuring remixes of several tracks originally found on his EP and, in 2023, he shared new single “Only Smoke Trees.”
2024 is looking to be Tama Gucci’s biggest year yet, with news of his debut full length album coming soon. In addition to his own original music, Tama and partner Matthew Mazur have crafted the music during Fashion Week for Prabal Gurung and Laquan Smith’s shows (read Vogue UK: “Matthew Mazur & Tama Gucci Are The It-Couple Taking Over The Fashion World”), and he helms his own brand of handmade apparel & clothing, Tama’s Corner. Over the last few years, Tama Gucci has been featured by the likes of V Man, Gayletter, Bandcamp, Magnetic Magazine and more.
