About Baby Cham
Cham, also known as Baby Cham (born Damian Beckett on February 24, 1979), is a Grammy Award–nominated Jamaican dancehall recording artist from Saint Andrew Parish. Launching his career in the early 1990s, Cham rose to prominence through his work with Madhouse Productions and longtime collaborator, producer Dave Kelly.
His 2000 debut album, Wow… The Story, was described by the Miami New Times as “the most anticipated album in years from any reggae artist,” solidifying his status as one of dancehall’s leading voices. In 2006, he gained international recognition with his breakout single Ghetto Story, which became a global hit and helped expand dancehall’s crossover reach.
Throughout his career, Cham has collaborated with major hip-hop and R&B artists including Foxy Brown, Alicia Keys, Akon, T-Pain, Rihanna, and Damian Marley. His 2015 album, Lawless, continued his strong creative partnership with Dave Kelly.
Still signed to Madhouse Records and known affectionately as “Baby Cham” by fans worldwide, he remains an influential force in global dancehall.
