About Me

"Raz's rich, sonorous, generously inflected voice is a veritable gift of nature. But far from leaving it at that, she also embelishes it with alot of polish and shades, achieving noteworthy artistic results." -Uri Eppstein/ Jerusalem Post.

Avital Raz came from a religious American family in Jerusalem. She Started Singing at the age of eight in a strict children's chior. By fifteen, she was singing solos with major Israeli Orchestras. At the age of twenty, on the threshold of a promising career in opera, Avital moved to Varanasi, India to study Druphad, the oldest form of Hindustani music with Prof. Ritwik Sanyal. 10 years later, She's back in Israel singing Her own bizzare synthesis between east and west. Recently she has concluded work on her first official Cd entitled Strange Love Songs. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
