An honoured Film-TV graduate of NYU, Hadara lived 7 years in New York City, 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.
In 2000 Hadara kick started her music career without any previous experience or relevant education. Since then she's released 10 albums, establishing herself as a leading artist in the Israeli indie scene. Madly prolific and inspiring, she's got her own cool of style, with gutsy, sharp lyrics and mellifluous melodies.
In 2005 Hadara was nominated for the BEST SINGER and BEST SONG awards of the Israeli Music TV. Her live concerts were 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. She's just released her 10th double-album TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING, and is currently working on her first Hebrew novel.
Songs flow effortlessly from her finger tips with a bohemian, bluesy rock style that can be compared to Joni Mitchell and Janis Joplin. Everything about Hadara is genuine and honest. Her revealing lyrics give her music an intimate quality, like having a private conversation in a secluded local. (Sunday Mail UK 2004)
She blends her Israelis roots with a wealth of American influences, from Bob Dylan (to whom she pays homage in several songs) to Barry White. She confesses that she prefers to ad-lib while singing, giving her songs a rough, unpolished edge. She has a bluesy, husky voice - at odds with her girlish good looks. (Jewish Telegraph 2004 Glasgow)
She's brutally honest, a crazy combination of Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell with a Janis Joplin edge. (Tony Paris, US, 2000)
She soars to heights where the best international icons have, in their best moments. A unique voice, wisely used, she's all at once, stormy and soothing, girlish and mature, harsh and vulnerable, cynical and so loving. The most beautiful music around. (Ynet 2005)
The rebel girl Hadara is the closest thing here to a real rock-n-roll girl, in the Joplin-Mitchell-Sixties sense of the word. She's got a hippish sort of sex appeal and a voice that ranges from whispers through sexual fondling to a scream. She doesn't recall her own provocative lyrics by heart. She sings and writes about sex, relationships and quirky love. A kind of Feminism mixed with Chauvinism. (Yedioth Acharonoth, 2001)
Once a singer/song writer in English, she has re-invented herself now as a Hebrew singer/song RAPPER. This is a brave, almost suicidal decision. Listening to her songs, however, one cannot but wonder why she hasn't done it before. Her writing in Hebrew is superb, groovy, sensuous, and accurately observant of the heart and the street. Her new album presents Hadara as a charismatic lady, very direct and complexed, hard and soft, experienced and full of fantasy, one that can wear rappers' glitzy bling-bling while quoting & corresponding with the best of literature; an excellent singe/song-rapper and a real-thing woman. (Ha'aetz 2008)
"Every little move of Hadara shines with soul and vitality as she lets the Hebrew language into her amazing pool of ravishing sex-appeal. She has become the first soul singer in the holy language, always searching herself in unknown places, taking the roads less taken. Her Hebrew is outstandingly rich, effortlessly sharp, and is here to stay. ( Walla! 2008)
In addition to her unique voice and deliverance, Hadara establishes her individual identity through her enhanced self-awareness and self humor not too many musicians own. She's got magic that cannot be denied. Super interesting artist, her album can be fun and easy on the one hand, but it can also take you on a wild and curious journey into the labyrinths of a brave artist, willing to twist and risk ( Nana 2008)

“Dance”
“The expression of love, grace an elegance A movement of intimacy, empowerment, romance Riding the crest of an ocean wave Gliding through the air on a breezy day My body on Earth my soul reaches away To Heaven. The religion of rhythm A moth to a candle A key to a slave of Pleasure and pain I take my first emancipated steps Freedom This is my chance. That’s where I go When I Dance.”

MONOTONIX Saturday 28th November Nice n Sleazys, Glasgow
The release of their new album tops off a whirlwind year of touring, the infamy surrounding their charged live perfomances steadily mounting. Rightly so, check out this youtube link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmEHu-QAgNE&feature=related - and marvel at one of the typically unpredictable gigs of the band that Spin have declared the "most exciting live band in rock'n'roll."

PS: YOUR INFO NICE ABOUT TEL AIV. YOUR MUSIC VIDEO WAS WELL DIRECT AND VISUAL STIMULATING ON THE SONG ALONE IS ALONE.
I can tell by your music you are seeking something, and that something is the peace you will know when you accept Jesus into your heart. I forgive you and if I forgive you so will my father in heaven. I must remove you as a friend until your heart changes. Love your brother in Christ John
