“There are so many talented Israelis - musicians and actors and everything.”

“There is power in music, certainly when an audience starts to show up and you have the option to send good messages.”

“I'm not a showoff. My happiness comes from very basic and simple things.”

“I had a lot of haters at school, which is a scar I still have.”

“When I was 8 years old, there was a showcase of all the instruments you can learn at my school. This guy was playing the trumpet. I heard it and was like 'Oof I got to learn to play.' The sound - everything was amazing. I was blown away.”

“Love makes you blind. One day you're in love, the next day you wake up and realize that not everything is perfect.”

“I was living in Bangkok and I had a girlfriend during this time, she was traveling and I was jealous. Y'know, I thought she might meet someone, might do something, and I was just worried, and I went and I wrote 'Nevermind.'”

“I love my family, my friends, the hummus, the sea, everything.”

“Two of my biggest musical inspirations are Kurt Cobain and Chris Cornell.”

“I don't even have the plaques in my house - the gold and platinum-selling plaques. I gave them to my parents and grandparents. It was never about the numbers, never about the money. It was always about the music. That's all I care about.”

“I signed at Sony and suddenly they've started to take an interest in Israeli musicians and to listen more, and I send them stuff. It's very important for me to open that window for Israelis.”
