Early Life

JenJoon, born Omar Twihri on September 9, 1991, in the northwestern Tunisian city of Jendouba, grew up in a modest family environment marked by persistent financial struggles common in rural interior regions.

Of Tunisian ethnicity with Maghrebi Arab heritage common to the area, he was raised in a Muslim household, as is prevalent across Tunisia. His parents, Ahmed Twihri and Fatima Twihri, along with the broader family of six, faced significant economic hardships that limited resources and opportunities during his childhood.

These challenges led him to drop out of school in 2005 at around age 14, after which he received no further formal education and became entirely self-taught in music. With no professional studios available in his hometown and scant financial support, he dove into the local underground rap scene using basic tools and sheer determination, experiences that later fueled the raw, introspective style in his lyrics.

Career

JenJoon, whose real name is Omar Twihri, began his musical journey in 2005 at just 14 years old, after leaving school due to his family’s financial difficulties. He started out in the underground rap scene in Jendouba, making music with very limited resources.

Without access to studios or much equipment, he taught himself and worked hard to blend rap with melodic pop and traditional Tunisian sounds. For more than 10 years, he remained active in the local scene, building a loyal following with honest, introspective lyrics about his own struggles, the challenges young people face, and life in Tunisia.

His big break came when he moved to Tunis in 2018. There, he worked various jobs, including at a bar, to save up for professional recordings. This move led to more polished songs, and early hits like “Hayala” (حيّالة), “El Foundou” (الفوندو), and “Parasite” quickly went viral on YouTube, earning millions of views and making him a standout in Tunisian and Maghreb hip-hop.

In 2019, he released his first full album, Ellil (الليل), featuring emotional, dark tracks that showcased his talent for real storytelling. He kept building on this success with singles like “Soukara” (سُكارَى), “Shweraa Tafia” (شوارع طافية), “Yemma,” and the huge collaboration “Ech Mazel” (آش مزال) with RedStar, which got over 100 million views.

In 2023, he released the 15-track project Mdayda, exploring deeper feelings of sadness, intimacy, and resilience. JenJoon‘s music kept evolving with later releases, including the 2025 album Rehla (رحلة), which featured popular songs like “Ken w Ken” (كَان و كَان), “Diga Diga,” “Elli Walla,” “Maak,” and “Matkhafich,” as well as singles like “TIRI TIRI,” “Mouta Mouta,” “Zin Ezzin,” and “Doggi Bebi.”

His mix of catchy tunes, haunting beats, and authentic Tunisian dialect has connected with a wide audience, earning him over 1.9 million monthly listeners on YouTube Music, millions of Spotify streams, and more than 1 million YouTube subscribers.
