Berry Sakharof, known affectionately as "The Prince of Israeli Rock," is a multi-faceted musician renowned for his profound influence on the Israeli music scene. Born in 1957 in İzmir, Turkey, he immigrated to Israel as a child and has since been an integral part of the country's musical fabric. Sakharof's eclectic approach to music, drawing from rock, electronic, and Middle Eastern sounds, has granted him an enduring appeal across a broad audience.

Beginning his storied career in the early 1980s with the post-punk band Minimal Compact, Sakharof was critical in bringing new wave influences to Israel. After the band's disbandment, his solo career took flight in the '90s, and he became known for thought-provoking lyrics and innovative soundscapes. His impressive discography includes critically acclaimed albums and numerous hit songs, such as the soul-stirring "VeMah Nisar" and the introspective "Hakol Karov Li." Recent works showcase his willingness to reinvent his music, seen in remix collaborations with notable artists, like the Infected Mushroom reimagining of "La Trib Ani Utruch," and captivating live performance recordings, signaling that Berry Sakharof's artistry continues to evolve without losing the essence of what made him a musical icon.
