Sacha TERRAT is a queer non-binary multidisciplinary artist hailing from New Caledonia, now based between their home territory (“Caillou”) and Paris. They are the architect of a rich and enchanting genre they call Oceanic Trip Hop. A singer, composer, and a bridge between art and science, Sacha’s digital masterpieces intertwine pop, downtempo, hints of reggae, and the pulsating beats of kaneka, fostering a conversation among diverse identities during breathtaking global journeys. Their sound universe, transformed since 2021, is infused with the ethereal quality of Caledonian nature and the captivating rhythms of Kanak percussion. Through poignant lyrics, Sacha delves into the complexities of cultural belonging and navigates their queer identity, encouraging connection and celebrating differences. Their music, described as a clever electro creation with a chorus melody that elevates the title in the style of a Massive Attack track, emerges like a timeless Pacific fabric (tapa), woven with electronic textures and experimental rhythms. Sacha TERRAT was chosen for the KeyChange TLP in 2025, boldly declaring their dedication to expanding artistic horizons and championing inclusivity within the musical landscape. Their ultimate vision is one where cultures, identities, and ideas converge and collaborate.
