Ninet Tayeb, aka Nina (born October 21, 1983, in Israel) is an Israeli Pop-Rock musician, singer-song writer, composer, D.J, and an actress.
She is considered to be the most famous person in the Israeli entertainment business – a title she's possessing for almost a decade now.
Ninet has released four successful albums (one of them in English), and has twice won Israel's Favorite Act at MTV Europe Music Awards.
She has also worked with producer Mike Crossey (who produced her third album, "Sympathetic Nervous System"), and artists such as Steven Wilson (Ninet performs on his fourth solo album, "Hand. Cannot. Erase."), Gary Lucas, Cindy Lauper, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Dead Daisies, etc.
Alongside her musical career, Ninet enjoys a successful acting career, performing both in movies and the theatre.
She currently lives in Tel Aviv and is married to the music producer and guitarist, Yossi Mizrachi.
Ninet has been working on new material, both in English and in Hebrew, and is currently touring after the release of her fourth album, "All the Animals Knew".
Ninet was born and raised in Kiryat Gat, which is located in southern Israel. She is the third in line among five siblings. She was nicknamed "Nina" at a very young age by her family and friends.
Ninet was brought up around music, as performing in small events as a teenager was a routine for her. She was mainly influenced by artists such as Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Oasis. Although she was still anonymous in national terms, Ninet was locally known and was expected to pursue a successful career thanks to her unique voice and personality.
Her breakthrough to the Israeli consciousness was in 2003 due to her "Israeli Idol" (Kokhav Nolad) first prize winning – something which Ninet had surprisingly tried to distance herself ever since.
Career Beginning
Barefoot and Acting
Fame was immediate for 20 years old Ninet, who found herself collaborating and performing with Israel's most popular artists. She became a known figure in every Israeli living room and was the main subject of dozens of articles and stories.
The summit of this period for Ninet was the recording of her debut album, "Barefoot" (Yechefa, Hebrew: יחפה). The album was released on September 7, 2006, and was certified Platinum in less than 24 hours, after charting five #1 singles on national radio. Barefoot was released by Helicon and was produced and mainly composed and written by the Israeli Rock musician Aviv Geffen.
Ninet's acting career took rise as well, as she starred in a successful TV series based on her own life story. The show, named "Hashir Shelanu" ("Our Song"), was intended to capitalize on Ninet's unprecedented popularity and lasted for four entire sessions. It still holds the Israeli record for having the largest amount of chapters of all times.
Musical Transformation and Journey
The decision
Despite her success, things were far from perfect for Ninet. Loyal to her inner truth, she was seeking for a new path, far away from the Israeli mainstream. Ninet wanted to express what she wanted – not what she was expected from. She then decided to neglect the materials who brought her fame and started an internal soul search within the musical inspirations she felt truly connected to, such as Jeff Buckley, P.J. Harvey, Arctic Monkeys, and Jack White. The harsh public reactions, on the other hand, were almost impossible to bare.
During her musical journey, Ninet was tapped to co-star in what turned out to be an electrifying performance, in her first international major motion film, "The Assassin Next Door” (Kirot). She starred the movie alongside James Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace). Ninet was also nominated in the Israeli Theatre Awards for Best Female Actress of 2010 within the Hebrew version of Spring Awakening.
Communicative
On November 17, 2009, Ninet released her second album, "Communicative", (Comunicativi, Hebrew: קומוניקטיבי). She wrote all the lyrics in the album, composed most of it, and produced the album with Rockfour.
Communicative, above all of Ninet's album, is considered by many as the album which represents her musical shift. Its release is widely remembered as a turning point regarding Ninet's public image and musical tendencies, as she was literally thrown objects at during its launch performance. Ninet describes this incident as a professional watershed until this very day. The artist who used to fill out major venues, suddenly found herself performing in front of significantly small amount of audience, sometimes 20 people and less.
These devastating reactions, however, motivated Ninet – still the most famous person in the Israeli entertainment business – to find her most authentic expression even more. Step by step, gig by gig, things started to get together, and combined a coherent set of musical profile.
The burrow into her musical influences' materials began to bear fruit as Communicative was eventually praised by critics and fans alike, and was considered to be one of the most talked about albums of recent years then. A new type of audience began to show up in her performances, which gradually started to grow and became more frequent. Old fans returned to their "old musical love" as well.
Sympathetic Nervous System
As part of her inner journey, and now much more musically ripped, Ninet released her third album, "Sympathetic Nervous System" (SNS), on May 30, 2012.
The album was entirely composed and written by Ninet in English, and was produced by Mike Crossey while being recorded at the Motor Museum Studio in Liverpool. In SNS Ninet continued establishing herself as an indie-rock singer-songwriter, as she won Israel's Favorite Act in MTV Europe Music Awards. Twice.
Alongside her musical growth, Ninet started to perform as a D.J in exclusive events and festivals, and is now highly requested in different events in and outside of Israel.
All the Animals knew
On May 3, 2013, Ninet released her fourth album, "All the Animals Knew" ("Kol Ha-Chayot Yad'u", Hebrew: כל החיות ידעו). After the last album was all in English, this time Ninet went back to writing in Hebrew. She wrote and composed all of the songs in the album, except for 2 songs written by Israeli poet, Dori Manor. The album was produced by Yossi Mizrachi (whom Ninet married later on) and Idan Rabinovici, members of Israeli indie-rock band "A Collective".
