Now, that said, I never leaned to write with phonethic symbols so, Google help me:

"Juan" according to Inologo :

Phonetic Pronunciation:  hwahn

[It sounds more like "one" than "Juan" but I guess that's just how close you ar getting if you don't speak Spanish.] 

And here you can hear "Juanes" being pronounced by an Spanish (1st play button) and a Colombian (2nd play button) man.
