Known in Israel by her given name Achinoam Nini, Noa is Israel’s leading international concert and recording artist. Born in Tel- Aviv in 1969, Noa lived in NYC from age 2 until her return to Israel alone at the age of 17. Her family is originally from Yemen. After serving the mandatory two years in the Israeli Army in a military entertainment unit, Noa studied music at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator Gil Dor.

Noa’s strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the 60s, like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. These musical and lyrical sensibilities, combined with Noa’s Yemenite roots and Gil Dor’s strong background in Jazz, Classical and Rock, have created Noa and Gil’s unique sound, manifested in hundreds of songs written and performed together. Noa plays percussion, guitar and piano. She is married to Dr. Asher Barak, they have two children, Ayehli and Enea, and live in Israel.

Over the span of their 15 year career together, Gil and Noa have written and produced 4 hugely successful Israeli albums: “Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor Live”, “Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor” (also known as “Rachel and Leah”), and “Achinoam Nini”. Their four international albums are, “Noa” (produced by Pat Metheny) and “Calling” (produced by Rupert Hine) for Geffen records, “Blue Touches Blue” (produced by Mike Hedges) for Mercury records and “Now” (produced by Gil Dor & Yoad Nevo) for Universal Music. In addition, Noa has recorded a live album with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and a live cd and dvd with The Solis String Quartet.
