Asaf Avidan (Jerusalem, Israel)

Asaf Avidan is a young Israeli singer-songwriter, who sounds like nothing you've heard before!When confronted with writing about his voice, local media were in general awe."A voice that does not let you stay indifferent" – Ha'aretz "When he opens his mouth, people rub their eyes in disbelief – this magic continues all through the show, enchanting every soul in the audience." – Ma'ariv"Asaf has it all – the rocker look, unimaginable charisma, great lyrics, and a voice reminiscent of Joplin or Plant!" - 106fm radio

"the lost love child of Dylan & Joplin" – 101fm radio

Asaf started out armed only with his acoustic guitar, and a bunch of heart drenching words. After touring feverishly before small crowds around the country, he decided to mix in a little more rock and dirt. The Mojos were brought to life, and a monster was created. Asaf Avidan & the Mojos sound like a blend of everything we liked about rock in the 60's combined with the right edge of our times.Captivating audiences of all ages, his lyrics and music strike a global chord.From his acoustic, armor piercing duets with Hadas Kleinman on the cello, to the body shaking, all-band rock tunes!In the past couple of months, a general hype in the alternative music scene all around Israel has been spreading, and Asaf & the Mojos played some of the best Venues around, got great radio air time and interviews, and some T.V exposure.Now, after growing interest from the U.S music industry, a U.S./UK tour is being planned for October-November 07. Asaf's EP ("now that you're leaving") is being signed to an American publishing company, and his new album is now in the recording stages. Songs from the upcoming album are already being hailed, and contracts have been written to try to include them as well!Other than the albums… On stage, Asaf & the Mojos are a force to be reckoned with!

"This was one of those concerts where you come out drenched to the pit of your soul, full of energy and dead tiered at the same time – I can't remember a time when I was so awe-stricken by a performance!" –106fm radio

"He burns the stage completely with enchanting words and sounds!" – Ma'ariv

"I can't help but wonder – am I witnessing the birth of a legend?" – Ha'aretz
