Noa Kirel (Hebrew: נועה קירל‎; born Noya Kirel, נויה קירל‎; born (2001-04-10)10 April 2001) is an Israeli singer-songwriter, actress, model, television host, and a reality television program judge in Israel's Got Talent. She has won six MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Israeli Act from 2017 to 2024.[5][6] She represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with the song "Unicorn", finishing in 3rd place.[7][8][9]

Early and personal life

[edit]

Noa Kirel was born and raised in Ra'anana, Israel, to Israeli-born parents. Her mother's family is of both Sephardi Jewish[10] and Mizrahi Jewish[10] (Moroccan-Jewish) descent,[11][12][13] whereas her father's family is of Ashkenazi Jewish[10] (Austrian-Jewish) descent.[13][12][14][10] She is the youngest child of Ilana and Amir Kirel. She has two older brothers, Niv Kirel and Ofree Kirel. Her father is the CEO of Glassco Glass, an imported-glass business, headquartered at the Barkan industrial park.[15] Her mother is the owner of a boutique fashion store. On her father's side, Kirel has relatives who were murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust.[14][10] Her maternal grandfather was a rabbi and a sofer ST"M (Jewish scribe).[16][17]

Her parents named her Noya but after she was diagnosed with a severe kidney illness as a three-month-old baby, a rabbi suggested a name change to Noa (which can also spell "movement" in Hebrew) for health and wellness, in addition to medical treatment by the universal healthcare of Israel.[10][18][15] He also jokingly predicted that she might become a dancer.[15][18] Kirel has only one functioning kidney, as a result of a bacterium that stopped her second kidney from growing anymore since that same diagnosis as an infant.[18][15][10]

In February 2020, Kirel was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and served as a soldier in a unique military band of her own.[19][20][21] She received an honorable discharge; completing her two-year mandatory service on 14 February 2022.[22]

Kirel was in a relationship with Israeli model and actor Tomer HaCohen from October 2021 to early 2023.[23] On 28 July 2023, she began dating Israel international football goalkeeper Daniel Peretz,[2][3][4] to whom she got engaged on 6 September 2024.[24]

Singing career

[edit]

Pushers, Single releases (2015–2017); and LipStar

[edit]
Kirel in 2016

Kirel appeared in the Israeli docu-reality HOT's series Pushers, which tracks wealthy parents who push their children to success in different areas. The show featured teenage Kirel and her father, who was financially supporting her entertainment career. Kirel is managed in her homeland by Israeli talent super-agent Roberto Ben-Shoshan,[1] and co-managed by Sharona Nomder (Morse Artists) internationally.[citation needed]

In 2015 she performed her first song on YouTube named Medabrim? ("talking")[15] Following its success, that year she released another song called Killer. The provocative videoclip for the song caused a stir due to Kirel's young age. She released additional songs, which were featured on YouTube and played on various Israeli radio stations, including the songs Yesh Bi Ahava, which was the first song to enter the Galgalatz playlist, Rak Ata, Hatzi Meshuga, Bye LaHofesh, and Ten Li Siman. At the end of 2016, she won the award Singer of the Year at the Israeli Kids' Choice Awards.

In 2017, Kirel began hosting the LipStar music show on Yes KidZ channel, alongside Sagi Breitner. In May 2017, she released a song called Makom LeShinui which she sang in a duet with Avior Melasa who wrote the song. Kirel released several other songs that year which were all marketing singles: Lirkod, Kim'At Mefursemet, Wow, Mi Iten Li Et HaKoach.[citation needed]

On June 22, she starred in the teen movie Nearly Famous, alongside Omer Dror. That year, she also appeared in the musical The Three Musketeers alongside Omer Dror. On August 28, Kirel released a single which she performed with Agam Buhbut, a cover version of Danny Sanderson's song Etzel HaDoda VeHaDod, as part of a campaign for Bezeq. In November 2017, she represented Israel at the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards, in the International Artist category.

That month, Kirel was hired as a presenter for a new cosmetic company, Keff. On November 2, she released the song Zikaron Yashan in collaboration with Israeli singer Jonathan Mergui, as part of the Festigal. On November 11, the cast of the 2018 Festigal, including Kirel, released the original song Tinshom with a video clip. On November 23, she participated in a memorial tribute to Amir Fryszer Guttman.
