Biography

Asaf Avidan (Hebrew: אסף אבידן‎) (born March 23, 1980) is an Israeli singer-songwriter and musician. He is also the creative force and front-man of Asaf Avidan & the Mojos, an Israeli folk rock band that he established in 2006 in Jerusalem.

Asaf Avidan also had an international hit with "One Day / Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Rmx)".

Starting 2012, the Mojos band project was shelved so that Avidan would concentrate on a solo career.

He also launched his solo studio album Different Pulses in Israel, to be made available internationally in 2013.
