early life
Jonah Marais was born on June 16, 1998 in Minnesota.
He grew up in Stillwater. His parents are Mr. Timothy and Mrs. Carrie Franchi. He is the second child in the family and has three siblings, namely Zebulon, Esther and Svia Franchi.
He was nicknamed “Marais” after a town his parents used to visit before he was born, called Grand Marais. He was born into a musical family, and everyone in the family had a good voice and sang well.
As Jonah entered his teenage years, he developed a stronger interest in music and began to teach himself to sing and play instruments. In sixth grade, he made his debut at a talent show. He covered John Lennon’s song “Imagine”.
In 2014, he opened an account on YouNow and began posting covers of popular songs and his own compositions. His songs became popular on the platform, and by the summer of 2014, he had more than 10,000 followers. Out of his love for music, he decided to drop out of school to pursue a music career full-time. He was in the tenth grade at the time.
While pursuing music, Jonah Marais was also interested in baseball. He played baseball since he was a child and joined his school’s baseball team during his freshman year of high school. He stopped playing baseball after his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Instead, he focused more on music to deal with the sadness that enveloped him at the time.
