Jonny Mahoro looks back on his appearance on The Voice Of Germany show in 2017 as having been the springboard for his career, while the years that followed were a kind of warm-up phase for what was to come. It is true that Jonny Mahoro has his own musical vision, and it’s one that can’t be brought to full realisation on a talent show or as part of the duo Jonny & Jakob. Since 2022, the songwriter and singer has shown that contemporary German pop can also prove to be something special through musical understatement and lyrical intimacy. No pomp, no effects, no misconceived masculinity. Mahoro's sensitively crafted love letters to the R'n'B of the 1990s, the non-conformity of the indie subculture and German-language soul greats make do with just his voice, a handful of well-formulated beats and plenty of feeling. Songs such as the programmatic “Leer geliebt” (2024) or the minimalist sound of ‘Zwischenphase’ (2025) have racked up millions of streams on the relevant platforms. But Mahoro repeatedly makes it clear with EPs such as “Kein Plan was Liebe ist” (2024) that, above all, he has no agenda to get ahead of himself. On the contrary: as an artist, he remains down to earth, authentic and, above all, a true humanitarian.
