Ohad Ashkenazi (26) is a singer-songwriter from Israel, who brings American flavor into the Israeli niche - a fusion of pop, soul, R&B, and jazz. His songs vary from witty, cynical humor to total vulnerability as his music screams self-love, sexual freedom, and emotional articulation.
The message is clear: Own who you are. Know your value. Now add tax, and accept nothing less.
if you don't know who you are, who else is supposed to?
Israeli-born and Hong Kong-raised, Ohad's early musical education was eclectic and is reflected in his body of work, which he likes to call 'fan art':
"I'm aware that my upbringing was very privileged," he says, "I'm bi-lingual and I've been fortunate enough to have been influenced by Western, Eastern, and Middle Eastern cultures - this definitely impacted my style. The musical library inside my brain is vast, containing influences from (far) east to west - this gives me a lot to play with! I just try to make sure I play with awareness and respect
