Biography

Early period

Jahid was born on February 29, 1996, in Baku. By nationality – Azerbaijani. [1]

At the age of 4 he moved with his family to Moscow. At the age of 6 he went to the 1925th gymnasium in Novokosino. In the first grade, he began to sing in the school choir and impressed his teachers with his vocals. And already in the ninth grade, the future singer realized that he wanted to seriously connect his life with music. [2]

However, Joni's father did not support his son's decision, as he wanted him to follow in his footsteps and become a businessman. Therefore, after graduating from school, Joni entered the State University of Management at the Faculty of International Business. True, according to the artist himself, he studied there without much enthusiasm.

After graduating from the magistracy, Jony realized that he wanted to play music professionally and asked his father to give him a chance to try himself in this [3] [4] :

"I was 22 years old when I asked my father to give me a chance to try my hand at something I love. Working for my father, who is the director of the company, is the easiest way, but he did not suit me and did not satisfy my ambitions. I only added at the same time that if something doesn't work out for me, I will return and admit that I am a fool. But in the depths of my soul I knew that I could not come to my father with my head bowed and admit my defeat – what kind of man am I after that?"

The beginning of a musical career

While still at university, Jony began recording various cover versions of popular songs and posting them on his Instagram profile. Soon the young singer was noticed by Elman Zeynalov (El'man). He invited Joni to his RAAVA Music team.

Jony began working on his own songs and after a while released five songs – "Empty Glass", "Friendzone", "Star", "Alley" and "Without You, I'm Not Me" (together with HammAli & Navai). The video filmed for the song "Alley" received more than 100 million views on YouTube and brought the artist fame outside the Internet. [5]

In September 2019, Joni released the song "Comet", [6] which soon topped the Apple Music chart [7] [8] and became the "calling card" of the singer.

In 2020, the album "Heavenly Roses" was released. Four compositions became the most successful: “You are merciless”, “The world has gone crazy”, “You bet” and “It rains outside the window”. In 2021, he left RAAVA Music and decided to pursue a solo career.

Artist nickname

As a child, Jahid really liked the cartoon "Johnny Bravo", so his mother jokingly began to call him Joni. Later, the singer began to introduce himself this way at school, when classmates could not remember his name. [9]

“I’m used to the name ‘Joni’, even my mother calls me that from the age of three. Only my grandparents in Azerbaijan call me by my first name. But parents and friends – almost never. Most often "Johnny", "Joe".
