Jonathan Emile is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on February 19, 1986 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Jonathan Whyte Potter-Mal was born February 19, 1986 , in the LaSalle Borough in Montreal, Quebec to a Canadian half-American father and an Jamaican mother. He completed his studies at Selwyn House School in 2003.
Since 2009 Emile dropped the EP The Lover/Fighter via his label. The year 2013 saw him performed his stage debut with The Montreal show of Broadway musical Ain’t Missbehavin’. The performance received wide reviews from both English as well as French newspapers for both his portrayal as Andre De Shields’ original role, as well as his distinctive rendition of “The Viper’s Drag”.
Just eight days after the song’s release online in 2015, Lamar’s record label Top Dawg Entertainment demanded the track be taken down on grounds of copyright infringement. Emile disputed this with YouTube and SoundCloud who had both withdrawn the song, clarifying to Billboard that his camp “paid Kendrick Lamar for a feature, and once we paid them, they basically stopped communicating with us altogether.” The song was restored on the two platforms two months after its removal.
On October 9, 2015, Emile released The Lover/Fighter Document LP, which incorporates elements of reggae, jazz, R&B and electro-pop. The album features collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Murs and Buckshot. Emile worked and toured with material from the album while attending McGill University as a philosophy and political science major. He released “Heaven Help Dem”, featuring vocals by Kendrick Lamar, as the album’s first single.
Following the tragic death of Fredy Villanueva, murdered and shot at the hands of Montreal Police in 2008, Emile recorded “Heaven Help Dem”, that was included in The Lover/Fighter Document EP. The song discussed the violence in urban areas and the brutality of police against visible minorities. The second version with American artist Kendrick Lamar was later released on Emile’s debut album, The Lover/Fighter Document LP and directly addressed Villanueva as well as other victims of brutality by police across North America, including Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Amadou Diallo and Sean Bell. Lamar recorded his lyrics for the track in 2011 prior to signing a contract in 2011 with Interscope Records.
