Background

Mahaut, born Mahaut Mondino, was born in Paris, France where she grew up. Her father Jean-Baptiste Mondino is a renowned fashion photographer and music video director and her mother a fashion stylist. Her family moved to Los Angeles for a short time when she was 2 years old.

Music career

As she was starting to experiment with producing and singing, Mahaut was commissioned at 17 years old to make original music for brands such as Cacharel and Yves Saint Laurent. She co-wrote her very first original music for Cacharel's 'Amor Amor' and 'Forbidden Kiss' perfume commercials with producer Mirwais.

After graduating from high school she studied music engineering in Paris allowing her to self-record and self-produce her music. While her personal works started to attract some attention, she met her first manager and moved to New-York city.

In 2013, production duo Supreme Cuts from Chicago featured Mahaut on two of their tracks, one of which, 'Gone', ended up as lead track off their album 'Divine Ecstasy'. After performing at SXSW in Austin, TX in 2014, Mahaut released her first single 'Voodoo Me' co-produced by Young & Sick. She then released her self-titled EP in 2015.

In 2016, while recording and living in Los Angeles, she began collaborating with producer Dave Stewart from the legendary band Eurythmics with whom she co-wrote her single 'Summertime', a unique urban blend of electronica and blues.

She now resides in Paris, France.
