Her mother Jacqueline Potier-Landowski was a well-known pianist . Her brother Marc Landowski is an architect and her sister Anne Chiffert, until 2015 General Inspector and Director of Music and Dance in the Ministry of Culture.

Manon Landowski grew up in Boulogne-Billancourt and began playing the piano when he was seven. At the age of 13 she went to the Paris Conservatory and studied classical dance. The 16-year-old moved to the Paris Opera with a first prize . A year later, Landowski attended literary preparatory classes for the Grandes écoles . At the same time she took acting lessons from Jean Périmony .

Subsequently, Landowski sang in the opening act for Cora Vaucaire , Léo Ferré and later by Juliette Gréco . She then gave concerts on stages in Paris , Hauts-de-Seine and various regions of France. Appearances in musicals followed. In L'Air de Paris she was the partner of the dancer Patrick Dupond , who was making his comeback after a serious accident .

Landowski's musical Le Manège was created in 1997 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris and inspired Pierre Cardin . He brought it to his Espace Cardin theater and brought it to Los Angeles in May 2000 , where the performance in a production by Daniel Mesguich was a great success. The musical theater play Mademoiselle Faust , which Landowski wrote with Xavier Maurel, was also staged by Mesguich . I do ? I do ? was nominated for the Molière - Best Musical in 2002 and 2003 .

Landowski sang and played in D'amour et d'Offenbach in 2006 , a French adaptation of the musical The Game of Love , written by Tom Jones based on Schnitzler's Anatol with music by Jacques Offenbach . She had other successful appearances from 2010 to 2012 in Brel ou l'impossible rêve , a homage to Jacques Brel and his "impossible dream".

In the film Doux amer (Bitter and Sweet) Landowski performed the title track. In the second season of the French talent show Star Academy by TF1, Landowski assisted the artistic director Matthieu Gonet and rehearsed their pieces as a répétiteur with the candidates.
