Manel Mallat is a Lebanese French singer, songwriter and actress born in Carthage, Tunisia on August 22, 1987.
She began her career at the early age of 15 and was quickly recognized for her powerful vocals and her abilities to sing in multiple genres and languages.
Manel’s multi-cultural education and diverse background allowed Manel to create compelling music and her own signature sound.
In 2012, she reached the finals of “Arabs Got Talent” (Season 2) with the highest number of votes from the audience and earned a regional recognition. Later in 2014, Manel represented Lebanon in IMTA’s competition in New York City (International Model & Talent Association) and was awarded the first prize in the singing, acting/monologue and lifestyle modelling categories.
Manel’s versatile artist title is well-earned and driven by the influence of Broadway and Musical Theatre, she pursued her three passions, singing, acting and dancing on various stages and in many international theatres. Manel was a leading performer in “One night on Broadway” and in “Majnoun Leila”, a musical adaptation of the classic tale of ”Qays & Leila”. The artist also got her first starring role in and recorded the soundtracks of “Tallatit”, a Lebanese feature film released in 2016.
Manel is committed to social concerns and humanitarian causes through her collaboration with various NGOs in Lebanon. Since 2008, she has been a lead soloist, an active committee member and a show producer in “Heartbeat”, an NGO that treats children born with heart disease. She is also a high profile supporter of the “YLP” (Youth Leadership Foundation provided by the UNDP).
In early July 2019, she became an advocate of the Digital Pride Campaign and launched her debut single “Kol Al Alwan”, a song written and composed by Anthony from Adonis in collaboration with the “AFE” (Arab Foundation for Freedoms and Equality) and “M-Coalition”. The song is a tribute to the fight for equal rights for all humans.
In April 2020 in the midst of the pandemic events, she released her second single “Badna Nbi3” (also written and composed by Anthony from Adonis), a social commentary about the addictive and excessive consumerism of our society and its repercussions on the planet.
Beside managing “Cats Production”, an international entertainment and production company based in Beirut, Manel is currently working on her extended play which is scheduled to be released by early 2022.
