Jouno's family is from Brittany in the north-west of France. He studied in the Paris area to become a film director but after several years as movie sets professional, he started to write song scripts, reworking them many times at nights, with romantic music on his life and his passion for film. This is also expressed though the songs "quitte á me quitter", "Si le vous, vous plait", and "love later".
In 2015, Jouno released his first EP Ouverture, consisting of four titles and released by Sony Music. Then in 2016, Jouno released his first LP called Interieur nuit with eleven songs, and a 48-minute musical film. The film, directed by Romain Winkler, was based on an idea from Jouno, depicting his work as a film actor and director.
He was selected in 2017 by Fonds d'action et d'initiative rock (FAIR) as a new talent, and was able as in 2016 to perform a tour of France,[5] with Angelo Foley as director and Agnès Imbault as keyboard player.

À travers champs et marais chauds je remonte le temps en route pour l'Est et le sommeil, le vent j'ai le soleil en sac à dos
Si le vous vous plait, je vous dirai vous
ou bien comme font les anglais, je vous dirai You.
J'estomperai le trait, le rideau entre nous
je repeindrai pour vous la place acajou
Si le vous vous plait, je vous dirai vous
ou bien comme font les anglais, je vous dirai You.
je me dévouerai, je vous dirai tout
Je cours
je me tue le feriez-vous? pour revoir une amie un amour flou
J'efface les barbelés, les miradors je doute, la boue au sol m'indique la route
et si jamais tu dors il restera qu‘on s'aima fort
Si le vous vous plait, je vous dirai vous
ou bien comme font les anglais, je vous dirai You.
J'estomperai le trait, le rideau entre nous
je me dévouerai, je vous dirai tout
Serez-vous là?
Serrons nous fort je n'ai pas pu me libérer à temps
je fais des rêves où tu m'attends
Si le vous vous plait, je vous dirai vous
ou bien comme font les anglais, je vous dirai You.
J'estomperai le trait, le rideau entre nous
je repeindrai pour vous, la place acajou
Si le vous vous plait, je vous dirai vous
ou bien comme font les anglais, je vous dirai You.
J'estomperai le trait, le rideau entre nous
je me dévouerai, je vous dirai tout
The lyrics of Marvin Jouno’s “Si le vous vous plaît” speak to the intensity of longing and the lengths one will go to reconnect with someone who has had a profound impact on their life. The singer is on a journey, moving through time and space in pursuit of a friend or lover that they have lost touch with. The language of the lyrics is poetic and expresses the singer’s devotion to the object of their search. They are willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means running to the other side of the world or enduring harsh conditions, in order to find this person.
The first verse sets the scene for the journey the singer is on, as they describe running and rushing towards an unknown destination. The second verse reveals that there is a specific person they are searching for, and the desperation of the situation grows as they are forced to navigate hazards like barbed wire and mud in order to press forward. The chorus is a plea to this person: “Si le vous vous plaît,” the singer implores, using both English and French to express their desire to be reunited. They promise to erase the differences that may have kept them apart — “j’estomperai le trait, le rideau entre nous” — and to reveal all of their secrets in the name of this connection.
The third verse takes on a more melancholy tone, with the singer wondering if their search is in vain, and if the person they are seeking will be there when they finally arrive. They express regret for not being able to act sooner, but at the same time hold on to hope that their love will be reciprocated: “je fais des rêves où tu m’attends.” The final repetition of the chorus serves as a kind of resolution, with the singer reaffirming their desire to bridge the divide between them and the person they hold so dear.
