🔥 Chapter 1: The Birth of a Mega-Hit

The Artists Behind the Magic

Fantomel (producer) and Kate Linn (singer) in the studio

  • Fantomel – The mastermind producer blending reggaeton beats with electronic drops.
  • Kate Linn – The sultry vocalist whose playful tone makes "Dame un grr" impossible to ignore.

"We didn’t expect this—it was just a fun experiment!"

— Kate Linn, Rolling Stone interview

The Enigmatic Fantomel

Behind the name Fantomel is a Romanian music producer, a graduate of a music high school, determined to create sounds that "make people feel something." His name is a diminutive of the Romanian word for "ghost" (fantomă). The artist hides behind his ghost mask and never reveals his face. In a world obsessed with appearances, Fantomel aims to refocus attention on what truly matters: the message conveyed by the music and the emotion it evokes.

It was after posting a video of a studio session with Kate Linn, inspired by a game discovered online, that their world turned upside down. The small snippet was enough to propel the track "Dame Un Grrr" into the spotlight, thanks to its contagious chorus.
