Biography of the composer and author; Kobi Oz:
The lyrics of most Teapacks songs are written & composed by Kobi Oz, the band’s lead singer.
Kobi Oz was born in 1969 in the town of Sderot, located in the south of Israel. Sderot, where many leading musicians grew up, is considered one of the most important cities in the Israeli music scene. Oz began creating and playing music at the age of 15. He started out playing keyboards for the band Sfatayim, which performed traditional Moroccan music.
He eventually became, among other things, a leading music producer who “discovered†many new artists like Hadag Nachash. Additionally, Oz collaborated with Sarit Hadad as lyricist & melodist on one of her albums. This album was a huge breakthrough on Israeli radio, and included Hadad’s most well-known and talked about hits.
Besides his music career, Kobi is an author who has published two best selling books called “Petty Hoodlum†(2002) and “Moshe Chuato and the Raven†(1996).
Kobi is a social activist who recently organized a big demonstration to raise public awareness of the tragedy of his home town, which is constantly under missile attack from Gaza. About 40,000 people came to Rabin Square to show solidarity with the traumatized children of Sderot.
