Jonatan Cerrada was born in Liege on the 12th of September 1985. From the age of eight, he was a chorister and soloist for the Royal Opera of Wallonia. At eleven, he participated in his first competition in Belgium. Jonatan continued to perform either solo or in groups for concerts in the local area. At that time he studied at the Gretry Academy, where he learnt piano, dancing and singing.
In 2003, he participated in the French television programme “POP IDOL” and won the competition. His first single was released during the summer of 2003 which was a cover of Michel Jonasz’ song “Je voulais te dire que je t’attends”. Following the success of his debut album “Siempre 23”, Jonatan toured France, Switzerland and Belgium, with his final performances at the renowned “L’Olympia” where he played two concerts to a packed house. In 2004 his performance in the prestigious Eurovision song contest broadened Jonatan’s European reputation.
The second album from “the singer with a tie for a belt” arrived on the shelves in June 2005 simply entitled “La preuve du contraire”. This album presents a more mature Jonatan, illustrating his talent for song-writing having written all fifteen songs himself.
Jonatan’s journey from chorister to European phenomenon echoes the paths trodden by many great French singers before him, for example, Quentin Bachelet, Jean-Franois Berger, Cyril Paulus, Lea Ivanne, Jeremy Chatelain et Sir Henri Salvador himself.
At the moment, Jonatan is in the studio, preparing his third album which is in Spanish. Jonatan spends his time between Madrid and Paris and opens exclusively the doors of his “MySpace” to you.
