Jannat Mahid (Arabic: جنات مهيد; born on January 6, 1986), known as Jannat, is a talented Moroccan singer and actress. She was born in Morocco but now lives and performs in Egypt. Jannat sings mostly in Egyptian Arabic and is one of the most popular young female singers in the Arab world.
Jannat started singing very early. When she was just eight years old, she entered a singing competition in Morocco called "Stars of Tomorrow" and won first prize! After that, she performed in many local singing contests. By the age of fifteen, she took part in the Dubai Nights Festival in 2000. There, she won an award for having the best singing voice in the Arab world.
Her amazing talent caught the attention of Mrs. Ratiba El-Hefny, who was the director of the Cairo Opera House. Mrs. El-Hefny invited Jannat to sing at a big concert in the Grand Theater. This was Jannat's first time performing for an Egyptian audience.
During her performance at the opera house, a music producer named Ahmed Desouki noticed her incredible voice. He wanted to work with her, but Jannat was only fifteen and still in school in Morocco. This made it hard to sign a contract right away. After she finished her studies and earned a university degree in business, Jannat focused completely on her singing career. She released her first song, "Efhamny Habiby", in 2004, and also made a music video for it.
In 2005, Jannat signed a contract with producer Ahmed Desouki's company, Good News 4 Music. In 2006, she released her first studio album, Elli Beny W Benak. That same year, she also released a music video for her song "Aktar Min Sana". Jannat's second album, Hob Emtelak, came out in 2009. Later, in 2013, Rotana Records released her third album, Hob Gamed. Her fourth album, Be Nafs El Kalam, was released in 2016. Jannat has also sung for many Egyptian TV shows, like Zohra w Azwagha El Khamsa.
Jannat became very popular with her album Elli Beny W Benak, which won many awards. Her second album, Hob Emtelak, sold incredibly well. It helped her win the Middle East Music Award and the Arab Radio and Television Network Award. More recently, in 2020, Jannat released her fifth album, Ana Fe Entezarak.

About Jannat's Life
Early Years
Jannat grew up with three older brothers. She was the youngest and the only girl in her family. Her love for singing started very early, around age five. She would often sing songs by famous artists like Umm Kulthum. Her family, especially her mother who was a retired singer, supported her passion.
When she was eight, Jannat won a national music competition in Morocco. She also appeared on a TV show called "Noujoum Al Ghad" (Stars Of Tomorrow). Jannat won three other music competitions in Morocco before deciding to travel to the Middle East to become a bigger star.
In 2000, Jannat won first place for "Best Arabic Voice" at the "Layali Dubai" event, which was part of the Dubai Shopping Festival. She also won a competition in Alexandria, Egypt. After being noticed by Ratiba El-Hefny, Jannat was invited to sing at the Cairo Congress of Arab Music. This led her to perform on the stage of the Cairo Opera House alongside famous singers like Majida El Roumi. After these early successes, she took a break to get a degree in Business and International Marketing.

Singing Career
Jannat officially started her professional singing career in 2004 with her song "Efhamny Habiby". Around that time, producer Ahmed Desouki was looking for new voices. He loved Jannat's voice and signed a contract with her in 2005.
After signing, Jannat began working on her first album, Elli Beny W Benak, which came out in 2006. It took about a year and a half to prepare the album because the producer wanted it to be perfect. Jannat recorded 21 songs, but only 10 were chosen for the album. The album was a big success, and she made a music video for the song "Aktar Min Sana". The songs on the album were mostly romantic and emotional, showing strong feelings.
Jannat released more successful albums with Good News 4 Music, including GoodNews4Music Vol.1 and Hob Emtelak. These albums were very popular in Egypt and across the Arab world. Jannat quickly became known as one of the best new artists in the Middle East.
In 2012, Jannat signed a deal with the famous music company Rotana for three albums. Her first album with Rotana was Hob Gamed. This album brought Jannat international success, and her songs "El Badi Azlam" and "Hob Gamed" led her to perform in many countries. She had concerts in Kuwait and Doha. Hob Gamed was also a bestseller in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
In 2016, Jannat released her fourth studio album, Be Nafs El Kalam. On August 14, 2020, she released her fifth studio album, Ana Fe Entezarak.
