IMANY is a folk and soul singer/songwriter who was born and raised near Paris. After attending a rigid military school for girls, where she found comfort and happiness singing in the school choir, IMANY moved to New York where she picked up modeling and sang at open mic nights. With origins from the Comoros Islands and an upbringing in France, she exuded an exotic air that is evident in both her appearance and music. Her 2011 album, Shape Of A Broken Heart, showcases her soft and slightly hoarse voice that often sounds melancholy but exudes a tough sexiness.
