Musical career

In 2016, Ishai moved to Tel-Aviv where she played along with various bands among which are Noa Shemer's ensemble along with Yaron Amitai and Boaz Cohen. In addition, she played with Yifat Netz (of "The Witches") in the band "Hithaphu HaYotzrot" and at the "Holy Dead" event alongside Riki Gal, Dana Berger and more.[1]

In 2017, Ishai joined the band "Haze'evot", with which she embarked on a European tour in 2018.

Ishai was once considered a "Tom Boy" and not once advocated her being a woman in a seemingly "male" profession.[2][1]

In November 2018, she said in an interview to "Haaretz", in regards to her band "Haze'evot" that "The fact that we're four women is no gimmick and not a "thing", and I wish we would arrive at the day when nobody would consider it as such".[2] Later that year she declared that she had never let her being a woman stop her.[1]

In 2018, Ishai officially launched her solo career with music producer Toka Aylon whom she met 3 years earlier. She harmonized her first single "Pashut" (simple) in 2008, when she was 14, when her father, Ofer Ishai handed her a piece of paper with lyrics he had written.[1]

In September 2020, Ishai released her debut solo album "Yom Reviei" (Wednesday).
