Jamal Manuel Issa Serrano (Arabic: جمال مانويل عيسى سيرانو; born 22 November 1996) and known professionally as Jamule, is a German rapper of Spanish and Lebanese descent from Essen. He is the son of the late Passion Fruit member Maria Serrano Serrano.[1]
Life
Jamule's mother was from Duisburg, Germany and his father from Lebanon.[2][3] Immediately after birth, his parents moved to Mülheim, and a year later to Essen, where he grew up in the borough Kray.[4] He went to school in Mülheim, and thus constantly commuted. His mother Maria Serrano Serrano was a member of the German Eurodance trio Passion Fruit, who died in a plane crash on 24 November 2001 when Jamule was 5 years old.[5]
In October 2018 he signed a contract with Life is Pain, a label from the German rapper PA Sports.[6] According to PA Sports' statement, Jamule got the biggest advance payment for a German newcomer ever.[7]
"Ich hol dich ab" (English: I pick you up,) was his first top-10 single. With the song "Unterwegs" (English: On the way,) he worked together with the rap producer team KitschKrieg and reached the top of the Official German singles chart in September 2020.
