Funny, brainy and soulful, Hadara is a phenomenal singer/song writer, a genius of heart and lyrics. An honored Film/TV graduate of NYU, Hadara lived 7 years in NYC, where at the age of 24 she directed an independent full-length feature film. Returning to Jerusalem, she authored a poetry book (Papaya Zoom), directed some documentaries, and worked as a free-lance writer for several leading magazines.
At the age of 37 Hadara kick started her music career without any previous experience or relevant education, releasing 10 albums in 9 years, ranging from folk to hip hop, establishing herself as the most innovative and inspiring artist in the Israeli scene. Madly prolific, with a deep sense of cool & style, with gutsy, sharp lyrics & mellifluous melodies, she owns a most powerful edge in her live performances. In 2005 Hadara was nominated for the BEST SINGER and BEST SONG awards of the Israeli Music TV. Her live concerts have been transmitted on BBC World, Romanian TV and major Israeli networks. Her first HEBREW album, venturing into the deep of both, Hebrew and hip hop, was released in 2008, receiving outstanding reviews, setting her as the queen of words and soul in the intellectual arena. TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING, Hadara's 10th double-album, was released in 2009. A brilliant manifestation of soul, wit, groove and excellent song writing. Edgy and soulful, brutally honest and sexy, it's a personal journey into the tears and sweat of a true artist.
She's is currently working on her next album, while completing her first Hebrew novel.
