Jannat Mahid (born January 6, 1986) is a famous Moroccan-Egyptian singer and actress. She is known by her stage name, Jannat. Jannat was born in Morocco but now lives and performs in Egypt. She sings mostly in Egyptian Arabic and is one of the most popular young female singers in the Arab world.
Jannat started singing very young. When she was eight, she won her first singing competition in Morocco called "Stars of Tomorrow." She then performed in many local singing contests. At age fifteen, she won the "best singing voice in the Arab world" award at the Dubai Nights Festival in 2000. After this, she was invited to sing at the Cairo Opera House, which was her first time performing for an Egyptian audience.
A music producer named Ahmed Desouki noticed her talent at the opera house. He wanted to work with her, but Jannat was still in school in Morocco. After she finished her studies and earned a degree in business, Jannat focused completely on her singing career. Her first song, "Efhamny Habiby," came out in 2004, and she also made a music video for it.

At eight years old, Jannat started performing and won a national music competition in Morocco. She also appeared on a TV show called "Noujoum Al Ghad" (Stars Of Tomorrow). Jannat won three more music competitions in Morocco, which encouraged her to travel to the Middle East to become a bigger star.
