Warren Permal

With his song crowned ‘Song of the Year’ in 2017 on Radios, Warren never imagined that he would be one to perform his songs in front of a public. His passion for music has always been here however he did not think he could be a singer.

While studying at the St.-Mary’s College, he often did slam poetry and did not think about performing music as he was a shy person. However inspiration came from another student from the same college, Gary Victor, who already started singing during shows at the college when he realised that he can do it too.

The biggest obstacle for Warren Permal was definitely his shyness which he had to overcome when launching his musical career. Hence in 2013, together with some friends, they formed the band ‘Who Knows’ and mostly performed during balls and fancy-fairs however soon members left and they had to disband. This only motivated Warren to work even harder and in the following year, 2015, he released his first single, ‘Mo Envie Marier’.

In the following years, he released several singles such as ‘Danse Séga’, ‘Parents’ and even held virtual concerts in 2020 during the lockdown. Warren Permal is an artist who believes that his music should not be only recognised amongst Mauritians. He collaborated with artists such as Perle Lame and Singah and even planned tours in Canada, Europe and Australia which were affected due to the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020.

And for his fans, they can be on the lookout for his first album in 2021 which will include collaborations with local and international artists.
