Ohad Ashkenazi is a singer, actor, composer, and educator. Born in Israel and raised in Hong Kong, Ohad’s eclectic musical education is reflected in his body of work, which he likes to call “fan art.” “I’m aware that my upbringing was very privileged,” he says. “I’m bilingual and I’ve been fortunate enough to have been influenced by Western, Eastern, and Middle Eastern cultures – this definitely impacted my style. The musical library inside my brain is vast, giving me a lot to play with! I just try to play with awareness and respect for the cultures from which it came.” His credits include music festivals (Clockenflap, Picnic in the Park, London in Tel Aviv, Yearot Menashe), singing competitions (Star Factor, Yrock POP), musical theater (Annie, Oliver!, Spring Awakening), two self-produced EPs, radio appearances, and collaborations with Israeli legends Yehoram Gaon, Shlomit Aharon, and Ohad Hitman. He teaches at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
