Ninet Tayeb was first introduced to the music scene when she was only 19 years old after winning the flagship season of the Israel's version of "Pop Idol" in 2003. Becoming a household name overnight, Tayeb's career grew into a what many critics have hailed as a wild cinderella story phenomena, as Ninet who was still living with her parents in the country at the time- decided to pick up her guitar and begin exploring the music scene in Tel Aviv.
Ninet's debut album was released in 2006, selling Platinum in less than 24 hours- charting no less than 5 singles that became instant number one hits on national radio through out the country. After releasing her first album and coping with its tremendous success- Tayeb opted take a short musical hiatus in order to dive into the lush sounds of more alternative and indie influences before returning to the studio to cut her next album, the idea she sought was to explore and grow new boundaries of music, something which she always connected with but still wanted to rediscover. Spending her days listening to staple artists such as: P.J. Harvey, The White Stripes, The Kills, Blonde Redhead, Arctic Monkeys, Flaming Lips and so many more, taking the less obvious path Ninet quickly flipped her paradigm/musical identity and plotted what would become her new course.
Not just a one trick pony - During her break from music Ninet was tapped to co-star in what became her first international major motion film, "Kirot" (Walls), alongside James Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) while also staring in the seminal adaptation of "Spring Awakening" the musical.
Her second album, written and produced by Ninet herself was released in 2009, again receiving overwhelming critical success.
Ninet finished recording her first album in english in Aug 2011, 11 songs written by her and arranged with her band, she recorded the album in the Motor Museum Studios in Liverpool, produced by Mike Crossey (Blood red shoes, Arctic Monkeys, Tribes). Ninet is planning to hit the road in the UK during 2012.
