Visual Arts

Sparks flew when Lider met lighting work artist Grimanesa Amoros. "He is an

amazing performer and composer," said Amoros." And so good looking, my god.

When we met, we had an amazing connection.”

That connection has led to Lider’s music being featured Amoros’s video work. “He did

an amazing job with the music and brought the images to life,” she continued.

Amoros’s lighting work has been shown worldwide, including in the Biennale di

Venezia, Times Square in New York City, and in Japanese Designer Issey Miyake’s

store.

Biography

Ivri Lider is one of the most successful Israeli musicians of his generation,

appreciated by fellow artists, critics, and the public alike. Through his lyrics, Ivri brings

to life the thoughts and day-to-day encounters of a new generation of Israelis – a

generation he calls “The New People.”

It comes as no surprise to those who follow the Israeli music scene that the

combination of Ivri’s songwriting and his unique voice have made him not only a star,

but one of the most adored and respected people in Israel.

Born in a Kibbutz in 1974, and started playing on piano when he was 5 years old. He

took his first musical steps while still in high school. At the age of 17, he started a

group called Everyone Does It Like This, whose gigs included a performance at the

legendary Roxanne club in Tel Aviv.

As he continued to refine his musical skills throughout his teen years, renowned

Israeli modern dance choreographer Anat Danieli commissioned Lider to compose

the music for two of her pieces, “Kisses” and “October.” Shortly thereafter, he was

tapped by Ohad Naharrin to compose the music for “Kaamos,” which Naharrin

choreographed for the famous Dutch dance company, NDT. And at the young age of

21, Israel’s leading dance company, Bat Sheva, chose Lider to compose the entire

score for Z/NA, making him the youngest person to compose an entire evening of

music in the company’s history.

Just a few years later, one of Israel’s largest record labels, Helicon Records, signed Ivri

to produce his first album after receiving his demo tape in the mail.

His debut album, “Caressing and Lying,” was produced by Yo’ad Nevo and released

in 1997. The singles “Leonardo” and “Always Love” were overnight radio hits,

skyrocketing the record to Platinum status.

Ivri’s second album, “Better Nothing Than Almost”, was released two years later.

Again written entirely by Ivri, who this time co-produced with Nevo, the album

included hits such as “Striped Shirt,” “The Blue Glass,” and the title track. Again,

thanks to Ivri’s haunting voice and vivid lyrics, his second album also received

Platinum status.

Ivri’s second tour, “Better Nothing Than Almost,” ran for 150 performances and won

many prestigious awards, including Performer of the Year, awarded at the Israeli

Music Industry Awards ceremony.

The astounding success of his first two albums established Ivri as more than just

another singer-songwriter, but as the voice of a new generation of Israelis.

In 2001, Ivri produced Sharon Haziz’s third album, “Headlights,” and wrote the title

song, which features a duet between the two artists.

January 2002 saw the release of “The New People.” This was Ivri’s first solo shot at

producing, and the album blended his signature style with an edgier, more electronic

sound.

It was around this time that Ivri came to a major decision in his personal life, and

decided to speak honestly and openly about his sexuality. He gave a cover-story

interview to Gal Uchovsky, for the daily newspaper Ma’ariv, which attracted

widespread attention across the country. Despite the publicity it created, Ivri received

warm and loving feedback from his fans, for which he is grateful to this very day.

“The New People” produced a number of hits including “Coffee Shops,” “At the

Water’s Edge,” and a moving rendition of Ehud Manor’s “Final Rain.” Sales of “The New

People” soon reached Gold status.

The innovative performances that accompanied the release of this album solidified

Lider’s status as one of the most popular artists among students and young people

in Israel. He is widely considered to be a trendsetter for the new generation. During

that same year, Ivri collaborated with Idan Raichel, who was at the time a keyboard

player in Ivri’s band. Ivri produced and arranged the song “Come Along,” which

became a giant hit for Idan Raichel.

Not content limiting his musical prowess to just record stores, Ivri composed original

music for Eytan Fox and Gal

Uchovsky’s film “Yossi and Jagger.”

The soundtrack included a cover of Rita’s

1980s hit “Come” sung by Ivri.

This new interpretation of Rita’s classic hit

received rave reviews and became one of

2003’s most popular tracks on radio

throughout the country.

Ivri also collaborated with actress

Meital Duhan. Their show “Love

and Sex During the Days of Awe”

combined music, theatre and

recitation that were specially created

for this show A poet at heart, Ivri also

published a book of poems he had

written throughout the last decade.

During the summer of 2003, Ivri toured

with Electro Live, a show that featured

remixes of many of his hit songs,

accompanied by innovative video art. And to

round out an amazing year, he received the

Lyricist of the Year award from ACUM,

Israeli’s copyright collection society.

In 2004, Ivri again composed music for another Fox/Uchovsky film, “Walk on Water,”

the soundtrack of which included a rendition of the classic Esther and Avi Ofarim hit

“Cinderella Rockefeller” sung by Rita and Ivri. The soundtrack also features a remix

of Ivri’s edgy rock song, “Mary Forever.”

Soon after, Lider co-produced Gilad Seggev’s debut album “It’s Okay Now,” and began

working on his fourth album.

After writing all the songs, he decided to perform them in front of a live audience

before recording them. Singing his new songs accompanied only by a piano, Ivri

gave the audience a unique and intimate experience – an appetizer before the

songs were arranged, produced, and recorded for the album.

“It’s Not the Same Thing” was released in February 2005 and immediately became a

hit, again reaching Gold status in no time. In this album, Ivri decided to create a clean

and completely different sound. An orchestra of 40 musicians played the string

instruments heard throughout the album. Ivri’s musical gamble paid off. The album’s

first single, “I’ve Known Love,” was a soft, sweet piano-based single that became an

instant success, further solidifying Ivri’s place as a leading Israeli musician.

In October 2005, Ivri was publicly rewarded for his most recent display of musical

foresight and creativity. He was awarded the Male Singer of the Year award from all

the major national and local radio stations, and was then awarded Best Male Singer

and Best Live Show at the Israeli Music Awards.

In 2006, Ivri released the highly-anticipated Live DVD/CD in Tel Aviv. The live DVD and

CD reached gold status immediately.

In June 2006, Ivri’s 3rd collaboration with Eytan Fox and Gal Uchovsky produced the

score for their newest feature film, “The Bubble.” This time Ivri also appeared in a

beautiful cameo where he sang the Gershwin classic, “The Man I Love.”

By the end of the summer of 2006, Ivri was selected by Time Out Tel Aviv to be on

their list of the “200 Coolest People” and was also mentioned as one of “The Most

Beautiful People” on the Hip List of Israel’s “People” magazine.

For Lider, 2007 has been his busiest year so far. In May, Sony Music released its first GLBT

compilation under their boutique label, Music with a Twist. Ivri’s single, “Jesse,” was one of

thousands of entries received from across the world, and Ivri was the only non-American

artist chosen to appear on the CD. The video for “Jesse,” which was filmed in Northern Tel

Aviv, has received widespread buzz in the blogosphere, even prompting Perez Hilton to

post the video on his website and call it “Just Gorgeous.” The video is now on rotation on

LOGO’s Click List and generating lots of traffic on YouTube.

In June, Ivri wrapped up his 2 year, 300 performance tour for

“It’s Not the Same Thing.” The final show, which took place in Tel

Aviv, drew a record crowd and was a huge success. Ivri’s guests

at the final show included the first Israeli Idol winner, Ninet

Tayeb, as well as the popular Israeli musical collaboration,

Metropolin. The show was a perfect ending to an extremely

successful and critically acclaimed tour.

The following month, Ivri was named to OUT Magazine’s list of

the 100 most important people of 2007, which will hit

newsstands in December. He was also featured on CBS News

on LOGO, where he was interviewed by fellow Israeli, Itay Hod.

For the remainder of 2007, Ivri finished production on Rita’s 7th

studio album, “Remazim” (Clues). Ivri was also responsible for

the tour’s musical production, which quickly became a smash

hit.

In 2008, he released his 5th Hebrew album, “In the Steady

Rhythm of Body Movements" which included the hits: Just Ask,

Waking Up, The Champion of the World, The Long Roads, and

more.

During 2009, Ivri promoted and toured with his 5th album, and

was announced by Timeout Tel Aviv as one of 10 people who

had the most significant impact on the Israeli music industry.

Ivri also finalized his first English album during these days.

In 2010, Ivri participated in the international collection project by BuffetLibre label,

with the song “Mike.” All of the incomes were dedicated to world organization

Amnesty.

During that year, Ivri cooperated with the appreciated musician and producer Assaf

Amdursky. The two produced a unique show, and launched it at Tel Aviv port.

Under the successful collaboration, the song “I

Cannot Sleep” was released and became a

radio mega hit. By that time, Ivri had begun a

special tour in Australia.

At the beginning of 2011, Ivri completed his

work on the soundtrack of “Aluminium” – a

dance performance that had gone nationwide.

A few months later, in July 2011, Ivri launched

his new art-music project “The Young

Professionals”.

The first single “D.I.S.C.O” had been released in

Israel and in France at the same time, under

the successful dance collection album of

Warner Music.

In September 2011, Ivri released “20 Seconds,”

the new single by “The Young Professionals.” In

the beginning of 2012, TYP were signed by

Polydor Records, the French extension of the

international music company, Universal. The

group released two international albums and

went on tour in Europe, South America and

more.

In 2012 Lider released his sixth album

"Someone Once" which immediately reached

Gold album status. "Somebody Once" was also the name of his new concert tour

that followed the album. In November that year Lider started touring all over Israel

with the audience and the media raving about the new concert. "Ivri Lider heats up

the stage in Tel Aviv…" and "Pop icon proves why he's one of Israel’s most loved and

appreciated modern musicians during celebratory concert at TA's Habima," were

some of the quotes from the reviews.

In October 2013, Ivri Lider launched his first men’s wear collection with Castro

Clothing Company, Israel’s leading fashion house, which was named IV. The

collection embodied Lider’s character as a distinct style icon, expressing a new

urban, vibrant fashion language. Castro’s designers, working closely with Ivri Lider,

connected to his distinct style and his dynamic lifestyle, beginning with his everyday

life in Tel Aviv, through his creative work and his love for style, sports and music.

The successful collaboration led to a second season, and in 2014 a second successful

collection was launched, with an athletic technological interpretation, based on a

colour pallet of black, white and blue, and using a variety of innovative materials and

unique textures.

In 2013, Lider released his first Music Book with 30 songs and some pictures taken

by Lider. The book was published by the "greenhouse" project of Steimatzky and

was also published in a digital format by the new Tonara iPad app for sheet music.

In October of 2013 the international television music competition The X Factor aired

in Israel for the first time. Lider took his place alongside a three judge panel and led

the judges table in a high-ratings season hosted by supermodel Bar Refaeli. During

this season, Lider led the Groups’ team. A second season of the show aired in July

2015 which achieved some of the highest ratings in Israel. In the second season, Lider

chose to lead the Boys team, after which he signed one contestant from the first

season and one contestant from the second season to the record label he created

together with Helicon Music.

In 2015 Lider released his seventh album “This love is ours” which included hits such

as: “Everything is On Fire,” “This Love is Ours,” and “Childhood and the Big City.”

Following this, Lider went on a national tour by the same name. The stage of the new

show was surprisingly powerful, as it combined unique video art projections

alongside powerful and impressive lighting and a unique sound which enveloped

body and soul. His shows in Caesarea and in performance halls all over the country

sold out and the critics have been raving about the show: “It is impossible not to fall

in love with him, Lider provides a glittering, precise pop show which combines

current trends from worldwide pop and gives each person in the audience a chance

to enter into his world. This love is ours indeed, Ivri Lider has become the true and

unchallenged king of Israeli pop. A new Israeli leader is born.” Another critic wrote:

“Lider is one of the best and most perfectionist performers in Israel. He is getting

better with the years. His show is like a roller coaster ride. Lider knows how to kick,

but also knows how to touch your soul. This show demonstrates Lider at his best.

On 1.1.2017 the Ivri Lider – Ofer Meiri album was released, an album that began as

a meeting of two musical producers for one song and led to the creation of a joint

album. The first song released from the album was “First Light,” followed by “Every

Day,” “Go but Please Don’t Go,” and “In This Town.” The album was launched in a

unique and original way with 3 special and unusual shows where Ivri and Ofer played

the entire album and answered questions from the audience. As part of the

promotional process of the album, it was performed in its entirety in the studio of

YNET, the leading Israeli website, the first project of this kind on the website.

At the same time as the tour, Lider also gave

a few unique and intimate shows which he

explained in this way: “When a song is born,

it is born small and intimate and then it

begins to be covered by layers of musical

instruments, sounds, beats and voices which

blend together to create a whole and

coherent creation. However, sometimes,

when I’m on the stage, I want to peel all these

layers away and present the song exactly as

it was born in my studio, small and intimate,

and that is what led to this intimate show.”
