Cham (born Damian Beckett on 24 February 1979) is a Jamaica born rapper, singer-songwriter and actor, most well known for his 2006 single "Ghetto Story" from his major label debut album of the same name, a song which led to multiple "story" songs by other artists in a similar vein. He is currently signed to Atlantic Records, and was known as Baby Cham until 2005. He is still called Baby Cham by his Jamaican fans and fans from around the world. ==Biography== Originally from Sherlock Crescent in Saint Andrew Parish, Cham's career began in the early 1990s.〔 The ''Miami New Times'' referred to his debut album ''Wow... The Story'', released in 2000, as "the most anticipated album in years from any reggae artist", and a ''Washington Post'' review of a live Cham concert in 2006 described him as "the man who may be the next Sean Paul -- a dancehall artist who crosses over to the U.S. hip-hop market." Throughout his career, Cham has collaborated with many hip hop and R&B artists such as Foxy Brown, Alicia Keys, Carl Thomas, Shawn Mims, Mis-Teeq, Rihanna, Che'Nelle, Jentina, Akon, and T-Pain, Keke Palmer and many others. Cham has for a long time worked with producer Dave Kelly.〔Johnson, Richard (2012) "(Keeping apace with Cham )", ''Jamaica Observer'', 29 June 2012, retrieved 1 July 2012〕 In 2012, he recorded with his wife, O, on the singles "Wine" and "Tun Up".〔 In 2013 he released the Kelly-produced single "Fighter", featuring Damian "Junior Gong" Marley.〔Jackson, Kevin (2013) "(Cham's a FIGHTER )", ''Jamaica Observer'', 25 October 2013.
