Jungeli

Joel Ungeli Shinga (born 6 October 2008), known professionally as Jungeli, is a Congolese singer, songwriter and television personality. Raised in Sevran, he began his recording career in mid-2023 and later introduced his debut single, "À moi" on 12 July of that year, which went relatively unnoticed. Ungeli received widespread mainstream recognition following the release of his second single, "Petit Génie" (featuring Imen Es, Alonzo, Abou Debeing, and Lossa), which debuted on 4 August 2023 and achieved commercial success in France, topping SNEP's Top Singles chart for 18 non-consecutive weeks. It became the fastest song of the year in France to achieve platinum certification and earned the Best African or African-inspired Music award at Les Flammes, as well as a nomination for Best New International Artist at the BET Awards. The song later appeared on his 2024 debut studio album, En attendant pour le peuple, which was certified gold by SNEP.
