Leandre Bérubé Bergeron (born February 26, 1995, Vancouver, Canada) records as Tristam. He is a producer and singer‑songwriter whose work spans chillstep, drumstep and related bass styles alongside dubstep, future bass, electro house, glitch and broader EDM idioms.
Tristam began producing as a teenager — reported around age 13 — and released under earlier aliases before consolidating his output under the Tristam name. He debuted as Tristam in November 2011 with the EP My Ghosts. After that debut he became associated with the Monstercat label and community, releasing a string of singles that include "Party for the Living", "Follow Me", "Truth", "Flight" and "Razor Sharp".
As a producer Tristam’s sound foregrounds strong, melodic songwriting and polished production. Tracks commonly layer a lead synth or vocal hook over broad, reverb‑rich pads and tight rhythmic elements. He stacks sub and midrange bass — a clean sub layer for low‑end weight plus distorted or saturated mids for presence — and uses sidechain compression to keep kick and bass articulate. Percussion tends toward clear transient snare/clip placement with syncopated hi‑hat work; in drumstep‑aligned material he pairs DnB tempos with half‑time feels in the drop to create that hybrid push between rolling breaks and halftime impact.
Atmosphere and vocal treatment are recurring signatures. Tristam often appears as a singer‑songwriter on his own releases, using pitched vocal fragments, chopped vocal hooks and warm, wide reverbs to make the vocal a textural as well as melodic element. On more glitch‑leaning or future‑bass tracks he uses vocal chops and stutter edits; on electro house or dubstep cuts the arrangements favour momentary build‑to‑drop structures with pronounced synth leads and saturated drop design.
Concrete career markers: the My Ghosts EP (November 2011) is the formal start of the Tristam alias, and his Monstercat singles — "Party for the Living", "Follow Me", "Truth", "Flight" and "Razor Sharp" — are the releases most commonly cited in public sources. He is primarily credited as a producer and singer‑songwriter within the Monstercat community rather than as a touring DJ or MC.
Public information about Tristam’s direct influences is limited in available sources. The clearest connection in his public profile is to the Monstercat roster and community, and to melodic bass and chillstep approaches that foreground songwriting and vocal hooks alongside bass design. His recorded output to date remains anchored by the 2011 My Ghosts EP and the Monstercat singles named above.
