Early life

She was born in Martigues near Marseille, in a family from the Comoros Islands[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

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, 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 Sous les jupes des filles by Audrey Dana[9]
