Departures of note

Pascal Dequatremare, known professionally as Tristan and Tristam Nada, was a French singer and painter born in Paris in 1958. He began his career in the mid-1970s as a member of the Parisian punk rock group Guilty Razors, which released one single before disbanding in 1978.

In 1980, he co-founded Les Musulmans fumants, an influential collective of urban artists based in Paris that became emblematic of the French street art movement. The group exhibited throughout the 1980s before separating in 1990.

Under the stage name Tristan, he launched a solo music career in 1988 with his hit single « Bonne, bonne humeur ce matin », which reached number 51 on the French sales charts. The music video was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and featured a young Vincent Cassel. He released an album titled « Les femmes et les enfants d'abord » in 1991, but after limited commercial success, he stepped back from singing to focus on his painting career. He maintained a studio in the Croix de Chavaux neighborhood of Montreuil.
