Pi Ja Ma is the StageName of French SingerSongwriter Pauline de Tarragon (1996). Outside of music, she is also an illustrator for Children's litterature.

She started her music career in 2014 when she participated in the tenth season of the French edition of the TalentShow Series/AmericanIdol. Reaching the third place, it gave her the will to continue singing and she released her first songs in 2016. She later released her debut album ''Nice To Meet U" in 2018 and its follow-up ''Seule sous ma frange'' four years later.

Her music is a mix of BaroquePop, IndiePop and quirkiness which pays homage to the {{Pop}} scene of TheSixties and TheEighties. Among her influences are Music/BrianWilson, Jane Birkin and Philippe Katerine. In addition to illustration and music, she also directs her own music videos and has her own show (subtly titled ''Le Pi Ja Ma Show'').
