Coming in February to Gazarte
Nostalgic, romantic, sensitive, determined, melancholy, magical… Imany, the beautiful French woman who with only one song, το «You will never know», became famous overnight will be found on 11 and 12 February for the first time in Athens, on Gazarte's stage.
Child of a family of 10, originally from the Comoro Islands in Africa, Imany grew up in the suburbs of Paris. "To sing. Just what I wanted most since I was seven years old.
Then of course I thought that this is something that other people do and not me", Nadia Mladjao confided in her first interviews, as her real name is .
"When I was little, no one told me my voice was good, they only said she was 'strong' so I didn't think the song suited me".
Any thoughts of furthering her childhood dreams were put to rest when "Nadia" was discovered on the subway in Paris so there followed seven years of modeling during which when she was not working, she wrote her songs. Nadia became "Imany" (means "faith" in Swahili). A correct choice as it turned out in hindsight. "Without faith we can achieve nothing", says.
After three years in New York, Imany decided to return to Paris, having beautiful clothes in her luggage, a portfolio with photos as well as a demo CD with six songs that she herself had edited.
Then, decided to be more actively involved in music and try her hand on stage. Her first appearances in Paris quickly created a loyal core of fans. Reviews made special mention of the melancholy sweetness of her voice, while comparisons with Tracy Chapman and Billie Holiday were not lacking. The name Imany began to be discussed outside of Paris.
He gained fame, he also had ready-made songs, the road now seemed open. She immediately recorded her first album and managed to surprise Europe with the sincerity of her songs. Soon most noticed her voice despite her beauty. He had won the bet.
