Humble Humans

Humble Humans is queer French-Mauritian singer-songwriter Jonathan Meur. Based in Paris, Jonathan makes chamber pop music that weaves together introspective, poetic stories with upbeat, luminous melodies, all wrapped around “smooth vocals and rich, warm instrumentations” (Buro 24/7 Singapore). His songs explore the queer experience in a patriarchal world; the fates of artists who struggle with not being understood or appreciated, who feel crippled with doubt when creating; the fear of opening up to new love, self-love, and believing we are worthy of either one. Based in Singapore for 15 years, he released an album, an EP and a couple of singles, and performed at some of the country’s most exciting live events – including the Singapore Writers Festival, Mosaic Music Festival and 100 Bands Festival – all under his own name. In 2018, Jonathan assumed the moniker Humble Humans and, in 2020, he released his first project as a composer, the instrumental EP Et Chaque Nuit inspired by the eponymous award-winning animated short. In 2021, he released the singles Dancefloor with Friends, Shit Done, Envoie Valser and Recipe for Disaster, together with animated music videos. The SOFT EP was out on Record Store Day 2022 (Disquaire Day) with alternative versions of the singles. Following the first full‑band concerts in 2023 and 2024, the year 2025 was dedicated to recording a statement album to be released in September 2026, plus three singles and an all‑French EP.
