PERFORMERS
Noa Kirel
Noa Kirel is an Israeli singer, actress, and television host who has quickly risen to fame both in Israel and internationally. Noa began her career in the entertainment industry at a young age, showcasing her talent through singing and dancing. She gained widespread recognition in 2015 after releasing her debut single Medabrim. Noa’s energetic performances, powerful voice, and charismatic presence have made her one of Israel’s leading pop stars.
Recognized as Israel’s biggest pop star by The Hollywood Reporter, Noa continues to redefine global pop culture with her distinctive style and dynamic performances. Her music blends pop, R&B, and dance influences, and she is known for her bold style and vibrant music videos.
Expanding her global outreach, Kirel signed a multi-album deal with Atlantic Records, making her one of the few Israeli artists to secure a major international record deal. She represented Israel in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest with her song Unicorn earning high praise for her performance and ultimately finishing in third place.
As Noa continues to evolve as an artist, her ambitions are set high, not just to maintain her dominance in the Israeli music scene but to become a global music phenomenon. Her journey is a testament to her relentless spirit and boundless potential, promising more innovative music and groundbreaking performances in the years to come.
Eden Golan
One of 2024’s breakout global stars, the pop singer-songwriter Eden Golan has staked a claim as one of most exciting new names in music after a star-making turn representing Israel at the 68th annual Eurovision Song Contest. She told The New York Times: “I am here to show the voice of an entire nation.”
While Eurovision’s global audience helped introduce Eden to the world, her journey to stardom dates back to a creative childhood. She quickly turned her young dream into reality after a series of successful turns on competition series around the world, including New Wave Jr, The Voice Kids, and securing three gold medals at the World Championships of Performing Arts.
For her turn on Eurovision, Eden found herself in the middle of the global conversation with the original song Hurricane serving as a deft commentary on the October 7th terror attacks. “The song is a tribute to the pain my country is experiencing and how we can’t disconnect from it.”
Now, following her star-defining journey on Eurovision, Eden is in the studio working on her debut album, focused on her mission to heal a fractured world through her art. Her single Older poignantly illustrates the way life experiences can force you to grow up too fast.
