Jonatan Cerrada (born 12 September 1985 as Jonatan Cerrada Moreno) is a Belgian-born singer who became the first French Pop Idol. He has had hit singles across Western Europe especially in France, Belgium, and Spain.
Jonatan was born in Liège, Belgium, and grew up in the city of Ans with his four siblings (Julien, Rafaël, Audrey and Rachel) and his Spanish parents María Victoria Moreno, a secretary, and Valentín Cerrada, a mechanical technician. He was eight years old when he entered the Opéra Royal de Wallonie in Liège where he stayed until age fourteen. He speaks fluent French and Spanish.
Jonatan is the winner in the first season of A La Recherche De La Nouvelle Star. Soon after winning the competition, he released his debut single "Je voulais te dire que je t'attends", a revival of a song originally by Michel Jonasz, and then "Rien ne me changera". His debut album, Siempre 23, was released after that and was successful across France and Belgium.
He represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 singing a power ballad song, "À chaque pas", and came 15th out of 24 finalist countries.
He was invited to star as a guest role in the Spanish comedy/drama Un Paso Adelante. It was also aired in France with French dubbing, and he dubbed his own lines.
He sang the soundtrack for the French edition of the film Robots - "Mon Paradis". Soon after that, his second album La Preuve du contraire was released. In September 2005, "Libre comme l'air" was released only in Belgium.
