Israeli singer and creator Ninet Tayeb is celebrating her 43rd birthday, marking over two decades as a prominent figure in the Israeli entertainment industry. Since her historic win on the first season of "Kokhav Nolad" (A Star Is Born) in 2003, Tayeb has built an international music career, starred in television series, served as a brand ambassador, and secured multi-million shekel deals.
Her breakthrough on "Kokhav Nolad" was not her first competition win; in 2000, she won the educational television talent show "Kolot Ve'tzlilim" (Voices and Sounds) with the song "Ze Lo Amiti" (It's Not Real). She also participated in "Ha'Melech Haba" (The Next King), which featured other future music stars like Harel Skaat and Dudu Aharon.
A memorable moment in her career was in 2007 when she shaved her head for a Cellcom advertising campaign, earning approximately 1.5 million shekels. This move generated significant media attention and highlighted her commercial value.
More recently, in 2022, Tayeb became the spokesperson for the ZAGA dining corner chain, earning about one million shekels for three days of filming. As part of the deal, she also received a dining corner from the company's new collection for her home in Los Angeles. The campaign, which included TV, billboards, and digital ads, had an investment of around 5 million shekels.
Internationally, Tayeb performed with British musician Steven Wilson at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2015, facilitated by Aviv Geffen. She contributed to three songs on Wilson's album and performed the song "Routine" with him, exposing her to a global audience beyond her reality TV past.
For the Hanukkah 2025 musical show "NEXT" by Omer Adam, Tayeb is set to earn between 250,000 and 300,000 shekels for her participation alongside other leading Israeli artists.
