Jonathan Maman (in French pronounced as /ʒɔnatɑ̃ mamɑ̃/; born September 29, 1978), better known by his stage name John Mamann (in French maman/), is a French singer, songwriter and composer who is signed to AZ, part of Universal Music. He has released three albums, Mister Joe in 2010, self-titled Joe Mamann in 2012 and Love Life in 2013. The title track from the last album "Love \ Life", a duo with Portuguese singer Kika, has charted on French Singles Chart.
At age 18, John Mamann left for Canada and later on to the States (Miami, Florida) to pursue a musical career. His father, a musician and relatively successful singer, with Moroccan descent, had great impact on him. Returning to France, his debut single was "Pas jaloux". He was more successful with composing particularly after his success in 2008 with writing and producing Louisy Joseph and finding chart success with the latter's song "Assis par terre". He released his own album Mister Joe with all materials composed by him with lyrics from Elodie Hesme, François Welgryn, Lionel Florence et Florian Gazan.
Mamann has also written to a number of artists including Johnny Hallyday (in two songs "Autoportrait" and "Devant toi"), for Florent Pagny, Natasha St-Pier, Luce, Jean-Roch, Havana Brown and others. He has collaborated with producer RedOne. In 2011, he co-wrote and co-produced "Il nous faut", a big hit for French singer Elisa Tovati and Belgian The X Factor runner-up Tom Dice. The single reached number 1 on both Belgian Flanders and Wallonia Singles Charts.[1] [2]
He also co-composed with David Hallyday, Fred Château, Mathieu Mendès, Corneille, Shaka Ponk, Coyle Girelli and Stanislas, music for the 2013 French musical production Robin des Bois.
His father, Maurice Mamann is a musician and singer who performed under the stage name Maurice Mann.
