Blicassty: the Blica Family, from Look Lemon to the Mr. Vegas duet

Published October 20, 2026

Blicassty, whose real name is Stéphane Blica, is a Martinican singer and songwriter whose documented career runs from 2011 to 2026, at the head of his own structure, the Blica Family, founded with his brother Ti Blica. His reference biography, published by Qobuz, defines him by a fusion of bouyon and zouk riddim, inherited from his beginnings on the dancehall scene of the early 2000s and from lyrics that speak about Martinican society. From Look Lemon, his 2011 classic, to Shakira, recorded in 2026 with Jamaican star Mr. Vegas, this profile follows fifteen years of steadily released singles, the loss of Ti Blica in 2017, the Contraste album and the next generation of voices carried by his stable, in the landscape of Martinique bouyon.

Stéphane Blica: a self-taught voice of the Martinican dancehall scene

Behind the name Blicassty stands a legal name the sources state clearly: Stéphane Blica, a singer and songwriter from Martinique. His biography published by Qobuz, written by Music Story and paraphrased here rather than quoted, describes him as an artist who emerged on the dancehall scene in the early 2000s, with a style presented as innovative for its time and lyrics addressing societal issues. It adds that he is self-taught, and that his musical niche celebrates both the culture of his island and emotion. These are editorial biography elements supplied by the platform, and this profile reports them as such: no independent press article opened during the research cross-checks them one by one.

The same biography gives the key to his sound identity: a fusion of bouyon and zouk riddim. Bouyon, born in Dominica, supplies the energy and the party tempos; zouk riddim, heir to Martinican and Guadeloupean zouk, supplies the melodic grid and the singing. Blicassty therefore stands at a precise crossroads of Antillean music, that of the Martinican artists who sing over the hard rhythms coming from Dominica rather than over the zouk love of their elders. The platforms file him more cautiously: Qobuz shelves most of his singles under pop, Shazam files him as a singer and songwriter, and some songs tip into dancehall or hip-hop and rap depending on the listing.

With his brother Ti Blica, he formed the Blica Family, which the Qobuz biography presents as a breeding ground for Martinican talent. The name is not just a fraternal signature: it becomes the imprint of almost all his releases, from 2011 to 2026, and the structure that also carries other artists, as shown by the listing of Danthology's Sa Délika, released by Blica Family in 2024. Fifteen years before the current debates on structuring the scene, the Blica Family already worked as a complete family label: production, publishing and the launching of young voices from the island.

2011: Look Lemon, the founding classic

Blicassty's documented discography opens on December 1, 2011 with Look Lemon, a single released by Blica Family, sung in French, measured by Shazam at 104 BPM and credited to Lucas Duranty as songwriter, a name that will return across the whole catalog, as the rest of this profile will show. The song's counter speaks for itself: about 77,000 identifications on Shazam, a level few Antillean songs of that era reach on the platform, which keeps it, more than a decade later, among the historic songs of its author, still third in his most streamed list.

The Look Lemon video is an animated clip, billed to Blicassty & Ti Blica: as early as 2011, the two brothers record and appear together, and the Blica Family is a duo before it is a label. The Qobuz biography names Look Lemon among the songs that met with notable success and built his popularity, particularly in Martinique, alongside Ma Cocotte, which still appears among his most streamed songs on Shazam, and Karma, named by the biography but for which no dated listing was opened during the research, which leaves it outside the verified discography of this profile.

Between that first single and what follows in the record, the platforms show a gap of several years: the next song attached to his discography is Après Ce Combat, in 2018. That silence of the metadata does not mean a silence of the artist, whose biography places his activity from the early 2000s: it only means that the dancehall period of the 2000s and early 2010s, that of sound systems and local compilations, was never delivered to the streaming catalogs consulted. This profile therefore describes a career in two acts: a first stage life, reported by the biography, and a platform discography that truly begins in 2011 and settles in from 2018.

Ti Blica: the brother, the 2017 loss and the C PAS CHO association

On December 21, 2017, Ti Blica, the younger brother and Blica Family partner, died at the age of 19. The date and the age are given by the page of the tribute concert organized in his memory, opened during the research: it tells of a career begun very early, a singular voice timbre and a fan community built within a few years. The Qobuz biography confirms the year of his death and states the essential of what followed: Blicassty honoured their shared legacy by continuing the musical work of the two brothers. The Blica Family, the imprint of his singles since 2011, then also became a name to carry alone.

Blicassty's answer to grief takes a concrete, documented form. In March 2018, journalist Vina Nodin proposed making a documentary film about Ti Blica; he accepted and took charge of the production side of the project, the search for contributors, for artists who had known his brother, and for logistics. From that work was born an association named after Ti Blica's leitmotiv, C PAS CHO, whose project page gives the meaning: nothing is hard, to achieve things you just have to give yourself the means. The same structure, Cpascho Production, then appears as the imprint of several Blicassty singles, including Oublié in 2020 and La fille de la personne in 2021: the tribute association's name became a production tool.

On December 21, 2019, two years to the day after Ti Blica's death, a tribute concert was held in Martinique on the initiative of C PAS CHO Production. The musical trace of that brotherhood also reads in the catalogs: the song Wawa Friend, by Elji, credits Blicassty and Ti Blica together, and still appears among the most streamed songs attached to Blicassty on Shazam. To understand Blicassty's place in the island's scene, this chapter counts as much as the discography: he is the elder brother who turned a family structure into a neighbourhood institution, then into a label that keeps signing and releasing.

2018-2022: the restart, from Après Ce Combat to Position Backshot

The platform discography restarts on July 12, 2018 with Après Ce Combat, released by Blica Prod and filed under hip-hop and rap by Qobuz, a resilience-titled song for the year after the loss. On February 20, 2019, Destroy comes out on Musicone, filed as dancehall: the two singles show an artist releasing again on outside imprints before recentring his catalog on his own structure. It is also the period when his songs start circulating again in the platforms' internal rankings, with Après Ce Combat still among his most streamed songs on Shazam.

On January 17, 2020, Baissé Blessé comes out on Blica Family, and it is the biggest song of the catalog according to Shazam: it heads his most streamed list, credited to Blicassty & Natoxie, that is, in collaboration with singer Natoxie, one of the artists the platform gives as similar to Blicassty. On September 5, 2020, Oublié, featuring Laa Ch'wiixy, comes out on Cpascho Production: it is the second most streamed song of his catalog on Shazam, and the start of a lasting collaboration with Laa Ch'wiixy, who will return as late as 2026. In January 2021, La fille de la personne, still on Cpascho Production, brings him together with Bilix and Natoxie as the featured voice.

The year 2022 lines up three singles on Blica Family: Dorelie on February 10, Position Backshot on July 18, the fourth most streamed song of the catalog on Shazam, and Je Resterai on September 15, an oath of a title that fits the artist's trajectory. The rhythm is set: one to three singles a year, collaborations chosen from the Martinican breeding ground, Natoxie, Laa Ch'wiixy, Bilix, and a single imprint capitalising on every release. The Blica Family is no longer just a tribute name: it is a regular production machine, ready for the album format.

2023: the Contraste album and the Top Shatta manifesto

On April 19, 2023, Blicassty releases Top Shatta on Blica Family, a programmatic title: shatta, the hard, fast bouyon that became the dominant sound of the French Antilles, is claimed at the top right in the name. The song's detailed listing specifies the real format: it is billed to Blicassty & Goldn.B, measured at 100 BPM, and backed by an official video. Its credits show the workshop at work: Blicassty as performer and producer, Goldn.B as performer, DJ Skunk as composer, and three songwriters, Lucas Duranty, Lovelyse Bergena and Thaly Malick. The song is therefore a collective work of the widened Blica Family, not a solitary single.

On October 13, 2023 comes Contraste, which Shazam lists as an album, the only long format attached to Blicassty's platform discography. Its title sums up the artist's project: holding together the dancehall of his beginnings, the zouk riddim of his Martinican identity, the bouyon of neighbouring Dominica and the societal lyrics of his conscious songs. Fifteen years after Look Lemon, the album gives a long form to a catalog built until then in singles, following the logic of Antillean scenes where the single rules and the album counts as an event.

That year 2023 is also when his collaboration perimeter widens in the platforms' recommendations: Shazam gives as similar artists Natoxie, DJ Tutuss, Kryssy, Lijay, Shannon, X-MEN, Mikado, Le Jèm'ss, Maurane Voyer and Ayewai, a mix of Martinican and Guadeloupean voices in which Blicassty stands as an elder. Several of those names, Shannon and Ayewai, will return as actual collaborators on his 2025 singles, which shows the algorithm following a studio reality here: the Blica Family records with the next generation.

2024-2026: a single per season, and Shakira with Mr. Vegas

The recent years are the densest of the catalog. 2024 lines up Wouf on January 11, Problème on May 20 and Charnel on August 2, all on Blica Family. 2025 accelerates further: Twerk, with Flavor Colectivo, on March 13, Précaution, with Guy Al Mc, on April 18, Dubaï, with Shannon, on June 10, Tes amis, with Yanishi, on Ysquad Production on July 25, Ma Doudou, with Ayewai and Régi, on September 5, No gwo pwel, with Mafio House, on November 14, and Big Deal on December 19, whose official YouTube video description presents it as a mix of conscience and reflection on a shatta beat, composed by Régi and mixed by DJ Charlan. The thread is clear: almost every single is a duet, and the partners are the young voices of the Martinican and Guadeloupean scene.

The year 2026 starts at the same pace, with a run of singles from the first quarter: Ou sav, with Klassik Frescobar, on January 23, Sé Ou Sèl, with Laa Ch'wiixy and Grenaldo, on January 27, Happy Day, with Régi, on February 6, Fanm 97, with Latop, on March 11, and T'étais où, with DJ TFIISH and Régi, on May 1, followed by An Lanbo, with Laa Ch'wiixy, presented by Shazam as his most recent release. The return of Laa Ch'wiixy, fifteen years after the beginnings and six years after Oublié, closes the longest collaboration loop of the catalog.

The centrepiece of 2026 is Shakira, released on April 3 on Blica Family and billed to Blicassty & Mr. Vegas: the Jamaican dancehall star, the voice of Heads High and Bruk It Down, records with the Blica Family artist, and the song's Deezer listing credits two songwriters, Lucas Duranty and Clifford Ray Smith. For an artist who set out from the Martinican dancehall scene of the early 2000s, that duet with a Jamaican veteran of the genre works as a recognition: the circuit is closed, from Fort-de-France to Kingston, through the music. To this file's knowledge, it is the most important international collaboration of Blicassty's catalog.

Adding the periods together, Blicassty's platform discography holds some thirty singles and one album across fifteen years, with a clear acceleration after 2023: three singles in 2024, at least seven in 2025 and six in the first half of 2026 alone. Few Martinican artists of his generation, that of the dancehall beginnings of the 2000s, still release at that pace, and almost none do so while multiplying duets with artists twenty years their juniors. That active longevity is the central fact of the end of this file: Blicassty is not a veteran in commemoration mode, but a workshop head in continuous production, whose imprint also releases others, from Danthology to Laa Ch'wiixy.

Writing to last: Lucas Duranty, the songwriter in the shadows

One name runs through the whole catalog without ever appearing as the lead artist: Lucas Duranty. He is the credited songwriter of Look Lemon in 2011 on the song's Shazam page, one of the three songwriters of Top Shatta in 2023, and the name that returns in nearly all the writing credits recorded by Deezer between 2025 and 2026, alone or with Reginald Martin, Régi, Shannon Renciot, Youri Jacob, Kamaal Burrowes or Clifford Ray Smith. Fifteen years of continuous credits make that name one of the constants of the Blicassty project, on the same level as the Blica Family imprint.

This profile reports that credit thread as it stands, and does not settle the question it raises. Qobuz gives the artist's legal name, Stéphane Blica, which is not the name on the songwriter listings: Lucas Duranty may therefore be the workshop's staff writer, a pen name, or a member of the structure whose exact role no source opened during the research describes. Settling it without a source would be exactly the kind of error this site refuses: credits are facts, the identities behind credits are questions, and they stay open here.

What the credits establish unambiguously, by contrast, is a workshop method of working, typical of Antillean family labels: a stable core of writers and composers, Régi, DJ Skunk, Lucas Duranty, to which each single adds the guest voice of the moment. That stability explains the regularity of the catalog, from Look Lemon to Shakira: the Blica Family writes and produces in-house, then opens the door to collaborations, from Natoxie to Mr. Vegas.

What this profile does not know: the limits of the file

This file rests on a platform biography, the Qobuz one written by Music Story, on the detailed song listings and on the page of the tribute concert for Ti Blica. It establishes the platform discography from 2011 to 2026, the Blica Family and Cpascho Production structures, the death of Ti Blica on December 21, 2017 and the answers given to it, a documentary, an association and a tribute concert. It does not document the first stage decade, that of the 2000s, which no consulted catalog covers, and it leaves aside Karma, named as a success by the Qobuz biography but for which no dated listing was opened.

Two further limits must be stated. The first: the exact roles inside the Blica Family workshop, songwriter Lucas Duranty, composers Régi and DJ Skunk, are described only by the platforms' credits, with no public organigram. The second: no global listening counter and no verified social account were attached to the artist during the research, and the only counters quoted are Shazam's, read at research time.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Blicassty?

Blicassty, whose real name is Stéphane Blica, is a Martinican singer and songwriter, founder with his brother Ti Blica of the Blica Family. He emerged on the dancehall scene in the early 2000s according to his biography published by Qobuz, and defends a fusion of bouyon and zouk riddim. His platform discography runs from Look Lemon in 2011 to Shakira, with Mr. Vegas, in 2026.

What is Blicassty's best known song?

Two answers depending on the measure. Look Lemon, released on December 1, 2011, is his historic classic, with about 77,000 identifications on Shazam and an animated video billed with Ti Blica. But the most streamed song of his catalog on Shazam is Baissé Blessé, released in 2020 and credited with Natoxie, ahead of Oublié, with Laa Ch'wiixy.

What is the Blica Family?

It is the structure founded by Blicassty and his brother Ti Blica, presented by his Qobuz biography as a breeding ground for Martinican talent. It has released almost all of Blicassty's singles since 2011, as well as songs by other artists such as Danthology. After Ti Blica's death on December 21, 2017, Blicassty kept the name alive on his own, notably with the C PAS CHO association and production outfit, which became Cpascho Production.

What is Blicassty's link to bouyon?

His reference biography, published by Qobuz, defines his style as a fusion of bouyon and zouk riddim: bouyon, born in Dominica, brings the party rhythms, and zouk riddim the Martinican melodic grid. His 2023 song Top Shatta, with Goldn.B, also claims shatta, the hard, fast form of bouyon in the French Antilles.

What are Blicassty's recent albums and songs?

His documented long format is the album Contraste, released on October 13, 2023. His recent singles include Wouf, Problème and Charnel in 2024, Twerk, Dubaï with Shannon, Ma Doudou and Big Deal in 2025, then Ou sav with Klassik Frescobar, Fanm 97 with Latop and Shakira with Mr. Vegas in 2026.

Who writes Blicassty's songs?

The platform credits recurrently name Lucas Duranty as songwriter, from Look Lemon in 2011 to Shakira in 2026, often with Reginald Martin or Régi, and composers such as DJ Skunk on Top Shatta. As the legal name given by Qobuz is Stéphane Blica, this profile reports those credits without identifying Lucas Duranty with the artist himself, which no opened source allows anyone to settle.
