Biography
Ninet Tayeb Ninette/Nina is an Israeli-pop rock singer and actress who became widely known as the first winner of Kochav Nolad (the Israeli version of American Idol). She is usually invited to the grand finale of the show every year and introduced as the number one winner of the show.
She is currently performing after the release of her second album, and stars in the Israeli version of Spring Awakening.
Tayeb is of Moroccan Sephardic Jewish descent, the third of five children to her parents. She was raised in Kiryat Gat, where she started to sing in the local youth center. She was nicknamed Nina by her friends and family.
After winning Kokhav Nolad, Teddy productions, the production company behind Kokhav Nolad, created a daily drama to capitalize on Tayeb's popularity. The show, HaShir Shelanu ("Our Song"), was loosely based on Tayeb's life, became a hit and ran through 4 seasons, with Tayeb starring as Ninet Levi for two seasons, and as herself for the remaining two.
In 2009 the movie "Kirot", a thriller directed by Dani Lerner, was released to theaters with Ninet in the lead as a beaten woman avenging her abusing husband.
Three years after winning the Israeli Kokhav Nolad reality show, Tayeb began work on her first album, Barefoot (Yechefa, Hebrew: יחפה). The album was produced by the Israeli rock singer Aviv Geffen, whom Ninet admired in her teen years; it was mainly composed, written and adapted by him. The album was released on September 7, 2006, and was later certified gold, selling more than 20,000 copies. The cover image was produced by Helicon. (Source Wikipedia)
