Nadia Mladjao (born 5 April 1979), better known by her stage name Imany (/ˈɪməni/ IM-ə-nee), is a French pop-soul recording artist of Comorian descent. Her debut album, The Shape of a Broken Heart,[1] which was released in 2011, reached platinum status in France, Greece and triple platinum in Poland.
Early life
[edit]She was born in Martigues near Marseille, in a family from the Comoros[2] in 1979. Her stage name, Imany (Imani) means faith in Swahili (from Arabic ايمان - imaan). As a youth, she was an athlete, doing high jump.
Career
[edit]She became a model for the Ford Models Europe. She went to the United States for seven years,[3][4] before coming back to France, when she started her singing career.[5][6][7]
In 2008, she began singing. She performed at the Beau Lounge, at the Réservoir, at the Bellevilloise, and at the China Club.
Imany’s first album, The Shape of a Broken Heart, which was named after a drawing she made with closed eyes,[8] contains twelve songs written in English.
Imany produced the soundtrack for the 2014 film French Women by Audrey Dana.[9]
In 2016 the Filatov & Karas remix of her song "Don't Be So Shy" became a Europe-wide hit, topping the charts in Austria, Germany, Poland and Russia.
