Ivri Lider
With his sexy voice and sweet ballads, Israeli born singer Ivri Lider is on the go to conquer the international music market, so far so now he is considered one of the top Israeli singers, winner of numerous awards in Israel such as the “Male Singer of the Year, and the sales of his albums surpass the 200.000 copies.
Ivri’s musical genres go from pop music trough adult contemporary songs; one of those adult contemporary songs that hit on the States was Jesse, a song that spoke about a impossible love with a boy, yes that is true as you read it, Ivri is one of the few openly gay musicians from Israel that have found success in the common market, you probably are thinking right now how a gay musician can appeal in a country with certain issues toward gay men?, the answer is simple, people have more open attitudes today, and a new generation has accepted Ivri as one of the most influential individuals of their time because his lyrics represent this generation struggles.
His lyrics are quite catchy, and his melodic voice grabs the attention of any one, in Israel he has been for over a decade and had build a solid career in his home country, but as every musician in the market he expanded his horizons to the more volatile American market, but if he succeed he can break more easily to the international musical market, so far so now he had achieved some moderately success in North America thank to television channel LOGO who at the beginning of the year 2008 played his music video Jesse for several weeks and OUT magazine recognized him as one of the OUT 100 in the year 2007 as one of the most influential gay men.
We just keep to wait to see if Ivri success grows more beyond a small segmented market.
