Haia
Haia was born in Israel, in the hot month of July, with a great passion for music that evokes creativity and artistic soul. Haia grew up in Israel, and has recently settled in the USA. She has been singing since childhood, and performed as solo singer with Josef Hadar (a well-known Israeli composer). At the age of fourteen, Haia was a lead singer with a show touring Europe. After high school, she served her mandatory army service, and subsequently continued her education at a teaching college, studying to become a music teacher for elementary and middle schools. Haia studied during the day and performed at night at special events. Her repertoire includes "oldies" and new music sung in seven different languages : English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Hebrew and Greek. The wide range of Haia's repertoire reaches the hearts of everyone in the audience. Haia's warm voice, interesting repertoire, and unique talent have taken her around the world. Her diverse vocal abilities have been showcased in Morocco, Switzerland, Germany, and the United States, to name just a few places where she has sung. Haia recently released her new CD "Bossa Nova with Haia" in Germany, while performing at the Atlantic Hotel in Hamburg. Promotion in the US is now in the making, and the CD should be released shortly. "Bossa Nova with Haia" features Brazillian Bossa Novas mostly sung in English. The exceptions are "Besame Much", sung in Spanish; and "The Fireman Song", sung in Hebrew. Many of the songs were written by Carlos Jobim. It is a dream come true, for Haia loved the Bossa nova, and sang it, for may years. As the popularity of the Bossa Nova is currently a rising trend, Haia has enjoyed a great response from listeners to radio play, and has received excellent reviews of the CD.
