At home, the talented and vibrant singer-vocalist is called the secret Israeli weapon. So compatriots jokingly remind of the victory of a memorable girl at one of the most prestigious competitions in the world. It has everything that is so appreciated by the audience. With her incendiary numbers, she cheers up the fans, makes them dance, while smiling. Such a reaction is the best reward for a participant in one of the most prestigious song competitions in the world.
Improving talent
The future winner was born in 1993, on January 22, near Tel Aviv in the tiny town of Hod Hasharon. Three years before the birth of the future vocalist, a settlement in the center of the country became a city.
Singing for Netta opened before she learned to speak. The parents sent the gifted child to a school with a musical bias. The family did not lose. The baby's musical talent manifested itself immediately.
The teachers rejoiced at the talented student, confirming her talent with grades. The young vocalist passionately dreamed of a singing career. Barzilai graduated with honors.
Barzilai decided to continue her education at the prestigious Rimon School of Music. A talented applicant entered there immediately and without difficulty. There she began to hone her vocal skills, at the electrical instrumental department.
Nineteen-year-old Barzilai started working as an instructor for aspiring musicians in 2012. She was soon recruited into the IDF Navy Ensemble.
The army wrote a significant page in the singer's biography: the aspiring vocalist became the soloist of the musical group. Demobilized, Barzilai did not leave her dreams and decided to enter the professional stage.
The path to the heights
For three years, the girl worked as a resident in the Bar Giora club, and led the blues evenings. The singer's creative career began in 2016. She created her own team. The ensemble was named "Experiment".
With the group, Netta toured the country. She worked with the famous "Bat Sheva" collective. The bright vocalist was not ignored. She received an offer to participate in musical performances.
The girl was entrusted with the main roles in the "Running at the Sea" theater. Since 2016, the singer has performed the accompaniment part in the musical "The Book of Difficulties".
At the same time, Netta worked as a vocalist in the Gabber Band ensemble. With him, she went to Israel, Europe.
Since her youth, the girl suffered from the attitude of others to her non-standard appearance. She perfectly understood that she was very different from her peers and worried.
Adult Barzilai accepted herself as she is, fairly spicing up her attitude with a wonderful sense of humor. The actress made her uniqueness a "skate" and won. She has already mapped out songwriting and video recording classes for the future.
Nett does not publish anything about his personal life anywhere. It is known that she is not married, but nothing is known about the presence of a lover. Barzilai refuses to comment on this topic.
Participation and victory
Since childhood, the girl followed Eurovision. She dreamed of qualifying. But she dared to do this only in 2017. She went to the casting of "The Next Star of Eurovision-5" and won by performing Rihanna's hit.
Joy was replaced by excitement: one stage was overcome. But the singer was worried in vain. She easily made it to the finals. Hundreds of contestants were overtaken by the originality of the interpretation of world hits.
It was Netta who was chosen to represent Israel at Eurovision-2018. She prepared the song "Toy". For the first time, the composition was presented in the first semi-final of the competition in May.
A clip was shot in a couple of months. On YouTube, he scored two million views in three days. The song literally skyrocketed to the top of the iTunes charts.
The fiery composition created by Stav Beger with Doron Medal has become a phenomenon of popularity. The chorus “I’m not your toy, you stupid boy” was a response to the company that began after the incident with Harvey Weinstein.
The energetic Israeli woman was instantly supported by feminists. The composer of the Medal, like the performer, was fond of Eurovision from an early age. His "Tou" became the most incendiary composition.
The famous hitmaker Berger became the creator of two hits that topped the ratings of the country's radio broadcasts. The clip has received rave reviews.
After the competition
Initially, Barzilai was called one of the favorites of the show. However, a complete victory was predicted for Elina Nechaeva from Estonia. But "Toy", barely aired on the official channel of the competition on March 11, decisively pushed the former leader aside.
After the final on May 12, Netta became the winner of Euro-2018. Suddenly, the professional jury voted for Austria. But the audience decided everything. Their votes were cast by Nette.
The unique electronic looper instrument added vocal and sound effects to the singer's creativity. Netta learned about his existence while serving in the IDF.
For the first time, the girl saw the looper in the video of the singer from New Zealand Kimbra. For a very long time, the performer dreamed of acquiring the same for herself. She had to work as a waitress to raise funds for an expensive wish. Currently, the vocalist has two loopers with a harmonizer in her arsenal. They help multiply and harmonize compositions and make a significant contribution by adding bright notes.
The girl continues to perform. She's not going to quit her music lessons. On the contrary, after such a bright triumph, the winner makes new plans.
