Today, he sees his appearance on The Voice Of Germany in 2017 as a springboard for his career, and the years that followed as a warm-up phase for what was to follow. After all, Jonny Mahoro has his own musical vision that cannot be realized either in the casting context or as part of the duo Jonny & Jakob. Since 2022, the songwriter and singer has shown that contemporary German pop can also prove to be something special through musical understatement and lyrical intimacy. No pomp, no effects, no misunderstood masculinity. Mahoro's sensitively produced love letters to the R'n'B of the 1990s, to the non-conformity of the indie subculture and German-language soul greats get by with just his voice, a few well-formulated beats and a lot of feeling. Songs such as the programmatic "Leer geliebt" (2024) or the minimalist sound of "Zwischenphase" (2025) have reached millions of streams on relevant platforms, and yet Mahoro repeatedly makes it clear with EPs such as "Kein Plan was Liebe ist" (2024) that, above all, he has no plan to take off. On the contrary: as an artist, he remains down to earth, authentic and, above all, a genuine philanthropist.
