Achinoam Nini (known also as NOA), Israeli born of Yemenite origin, raised in the US, resides in Israel with her husband and 3 children. She is Israel's leading international singer/songwriter, having shared the stage with superstars such as Sting, Pat Metheny, Quincy Jones , Stevie Wonder, Andrea Bocelli and many more, and is Israel's first Good Will Ambassador for FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN. She was also given the honorary title of Cavalliera de la Republica Italiana by Italy’s former President Napolitano, and is the recipient of the Chrystal Award of the World Economic Forum, where she was also chosen a Global Leader of Tomorrow.

 Together with her longstanding collaborator Gil Dor, she has released over 15 albums which have sold millions the world over. Noa was the first Jew to perform in the Vatican 20 years ago and has done so many times since. She wrote lyrics to and recorded the hugely successful theme song for the Academy Award winning film “La Vita e Bella”. Noa sings in six languages, has collaborated with Symphony Orchestras around the world, and performed in the world’s most prestigious venues, including the White House. Beyond her passionate commitment to music, Noa dedicates much of her time to promoting peace and dialogue between Israel and Palestine and to various social issues, volunteering extensively for organizations in these fields.  She was the only leading Israeli artist to agree to perform in the historic peace rally where Yitzchak Rabin was murdered, an d has since become Israel’s most outstanding  celebrity advocate for the two state solution. Noa has collaborated with numerous artists in the Arab world, including Khaled from Algeria and Nabil Salameh from Lebanon, but most notably with  Israeli /Palestinian artist Mira Awad,  with whom she represented Israel in the 2009 Eurovision, singing before and audience of many millions in Arabic, English and Hebrew. Noa is active on the public board of the Um EL Fahem Muesum of Art, the Arava Desert Institute and the Polyphony  Music project of Nazereth, all institutes where Jews and Arabs meet to share knowledge, music and art, connecting them on the highest and deepest level possible.
