Vegedream

Sachtela Evrard Djedje, known professionally as Vegedream, was born on August 25, 1992, in Orléans, France. He maintained strong ties to his Ivorian heritage, growing up experiencing both French and Ivorian cultures. His musical journey began early in France, where he developed a passion for music, influenced by artists like Justin Timberlake and Christine and the Queens. This early exposure led him to start writing his own lyrics and rapping with friends, laying the foundation for his future career in music. He is also the nephew of fellow musician Ziké, which provided an early connection to the music industry.

Vegedream’s career began to take shape in 2016 when he co-founded the group La Synesia. The group quickly gained recognition within the local music scene for its unique sound, which blended rap, Afrobeat, and pop. La Synesia released several tracks that achieved some success, including “La Fuite” and “La Rue.” This period with La Synesia served as a crucial developmental phase, allowing Vegedream to refine his artistic style and performance capabilities before embarking on a solo career. His talent for crafting catchy melodies and impactful lyrics became evident during this time.

A significant turning point in Vegedream’s career arrived in 2018 with the release of his solo single, “Ramenez la coupe à la maison.” The song quickly became a national hit in France, particularly due to its association with the French football team’s victory in the FIFA World Cup that year. The track’s unifying chorus and celebratory atmosphere resonated widely, propelling Vegedream into national prominence. This success paved the way for his debut studio album, “Marchand de sable,” released in 2018, which was a commercial success, supported by additional singles such as “Faut pas saigner” and “Tête haute.” Since his breakthrough, he has released three studio albums, all reaching the top 10 in the French Album Charts, alongside 23 singles.
