Hello Tahel How are you?
Hello, I’m doing well how are you?
What exactly do you do for a career?
In terms of my career, I’m a singer-songwriter with a passion for creating music. Additionally, I work as a UGC creator, collaborating with big companies to craft engaging scripts for UGC videos aimed at boosting brand promotion.
What was the process for you to find what you wanted to do?
My journey to discovering my career path was quite unique. Despite facing challenges like scoliosis and undergoing back surgery at age 17, which ended my professional running career, where I had accumulated 24 medals, I redirected my passion towards music, a love that has been with me since I was 14. This transition was fueled by my determination to overcome obstacles and pursue what truly makes me happy. Along the way, I also ventured into reality TV, participating in the Spanish-language show “Enamorándonos” in Miami, which allowed me to showcase my language skills and expand my horizons. Through exploration, resilience, and embracing my diverse talents, I found fulfillment in both music and content creation, aiming to inspire others with my journey.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Being able to connect with people through my music and content creation, and knowing that I help them heal and making a positive impact on their lives.
Can you tell us about your job?
As a singer-songwriter, I have the privilege of expressing myself creatively through music, sharing my emotions and stories with my audience. Additionally, as a UGC creator, I collaborate with major companies to develop engaging scripts for user-generated content videos, helping to boost brand promotion and create meaningful connections with viewers.
What do you want your audience to know?
I want them to know that I pour my heart and soul into everything I do, whether it’s writing a song or crafting a script. I strive to inspire others with my resilience, creativity, and passion, and I hope that my journey serves as a reminder that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
What is your greatest success so far?
My greatest success so far has been releasing two singles on YouTube, despite facing challenges such as scoliosis and back surgery. These songs represent my journey and resilience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my music with the world. Additionally, one of the significant milestones in my life was when I made the decision to move to the USA by myself at the age of 20. It was a bold and courageous step that opened up a world of opportunities for personal and professional growth, allowing me to pursue my dreams in the land of opportunity.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Israel before moving to the USA when I was 20 years old.
Where are you from?
I am originally from Israel, but I currently reside in the USA.
What are some of the challenges you faced along the way?
I faced numerous challenges, including adapting my accent to sing in English. Initially, navigating the nuances of pronunciation and delivery presented difficulties, but with perseverance and practice, I’ve overcome these obstacles to express myself fluently in multiple languages. Additionally, being very private with my body posed challenges in an industry that often emphasizes physical appearance. While I still maintain boundaries and don’t dress provocatively, I’ve grown more comfortable with myself over the years, becoming more open-minded and confident in my identity as an artist. This journey of self-acceptance and growth continues to shape my approach to music and the entertainment industry.
What does it take to be successful singer?
To be successful as a singer, it takes a combination of talent, dedication, perseverance, and resilience. Continuous learning and honing your craft are essential, as well as being open to feedback and constructive criticism. Networking and building relationships within the industry can also open doors to opportunities. Additionally, having a strong work ethic, professionalism, and the ability to handle pressure are crucial traits for success in the competitive world of entertainment.
Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
I see myself continuing to grow and evolve as an artist, releasing more music, and expanding my presence in the entertainment industry. I aim to further establish myself as a singer, exploring new opportunities, collaborating with talented individuals, and inspiring others with my journey and creativity. Additionally, I hope to use my platform to advocate for causes I’m passionate about and make a positive impact on the world.
What advice would you give to a young singer?
I’d emphasize to young singers the importance of doing music from the right place, driven by a desire to help people and make a positive change in the world. When you’re motivated by a genuine passion for creating meaningful art and touching people’s lives with your music, it becomes a powerful force that fuels your journey and keeps you going, even during challenging times. Remembering your purpose and the impact you want to have can serve as a guiding light, inspiring you to continue pursuing your dreams and making a difference through your music.
Who is your biggest inspiration?
Lady Gaga has been a tremendous inspiration to me. Her fearless creativity, unmatched talent, and unwavering dedication to her craft have made her a true icon in the music industry. I admire her ability to push boundaries, challenge norms, and use her platform to advocate for important causes such as mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights. Gaga’s authenticity, resilience, and willingness to be vulnerable have taught me the power of embracing my uniqueness and staying true to myself as an artist. She continues to inspire me to dream big, work hard, and make a meaningful impact through my music.
Anything else your audience should know?
Yes, I want my audience to know that my journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and self-belief. Despite facing obstacles along the way, I’ve remained committed to my dreams and have found fulfillment in both music and content creation. I hope to inspire others to pursue their passions fearlessly, embrace their uniqueness, and never lose sight of their worth. Thank you for being a part of my journey.
