Music career
In the 1970s, he established the innovative rock band Tamuz, with Shalom Hanoch, and later headed the group Brosh.

In the 1980s, he launched a solo career. His music spans various genres, from rock, pop, hip-hop and Arab music to Ethiopian-inspired music. His album "Ha'atalef Vehatarnigol" ("The Bat and the Rooster") included four Hasidic melodies composed by Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburgh.[5]
