EP 390: French-Mauritian queer singer-songwriter Humble Humans

Jonathan is a French-Mauritian queer singer-songwriter/arranger/composer who writes alternative folk-pop music anchored by “smooth vocals and rich, warm instrumentations” (Buro 24/7 Singapore, July 2015) likened to Sufjan Stevens, Regina Spektor and Kings of Convenience.

After a childhood and teenage years spent in Mauritius, he lived 15 years in Singapore where he released an album, an EP and a couple of singles, and took part in some of the country’s foremost festivals.

In 2018, Jonathan assumed the moniker Humble Humans and, in 2020, he released his first project as a composer, the instrumental EP Et Chaque Nuit (Each and Every Night) inspired by the eponymous award-winning animated short.

In 2021, he released the four eclectic singles together with animated music videos. The EP “SOFT” came out on Record Store Day 2022 with alternative versions of the singles.

Having recently become a quartet, Humble Humans is gearing up for its first full-band gig on January 14th, 2024, at Les Disquaires in Paris, and an exciting new album later in the year!
