Originating from Ivory Coast, the pair known as Force One delivers energetic Coupé-Décalé music that blends Afro-beat, dancehall, and electronic elements. Attention first came their way via the 2003 release "Salamandre," with broader recognition arriving through the 2014 track "Number One."

The Côte d'Ivoire-based act consists of vocalists JM, whose full name is Jean Marie Konan, alongside Major Goldman, born Sébastien Amani. Their initial output arrived in the form of "Salamandre" in 2003, after which they devoted multiple years to projects across Europe. Upon their 2007 comeback, "Coupé-Décalé Dance" appeared as a single, with "Africa Baby" emerging the subsequent year. Another well-received effort, "Number One," surfaced in 2014 and drew listeners in through its dynamic fusion of Afro-beat and dancehall grooves. Additional partnerships include work alongside Mr. Eazi, Shado Chris, and further artists.
