.LadyGaga’s 'Chromatica' features multiple co-writers plucked from the world of electronic music -- among them France's iamTchami, Variety_Music's Hitmaker of the Month.

for June is better known as a busy touring DJ on the global festival circuit. As a songwriter, he humbly gives the lion’s share of credit to other co-writers on the album, in perhaps a growing awareness of what it takes to be a well-liked collaborator in 2020 when compromise is key to ensuring future calls for sessions.

For Tchami, who’s also credited on Lady Gaga’s “Applause” from 2013, collaborating is a sacred art of sacrifice and open-mindedness — never afraid of losing a part of a song if others think it can be improved upon.

It’s lesson Tchami learned years ago. “I mostly compose music on my own,” he writes from his home in Miami, where he’s riding out the COVID-19 pandemic. “I have my area at home and I basically make music every day,” he says, adding “I’m fully present in the moment. I’ve been practically living in studios for most of my life, even back in the days in France, so coronavirus confinement is not a big deal for me.

So what’s next for the electronic music purveyor? For starters, his new album “Year Zero” drops this fall, and he hopes to tour behind it as soon as he is able. Tchami was booked for Coachella in April and was in the middle of a North American jaunt that he had to cancel due to the pandemic. “So far, Coachella has been rescheduled so you can expect to see me there [in October],” he says, although it’s questionable whether it will go off at all in 2020.

Would his pop tracks from “Chromatica” work in the dance tent where EDM purists converge? “I love the fact that genres have clear boundaries — pop being a very particular one — but I cannot put myself in one box,” he says of his creative process. “I’m fully present in the moment. And I never set any boundaries when it comes to who I want to work with and what I want to create with them.”
