Biography

[edit | edit source]

Ohad Rein was born on 18 April 1979 and grew up in Sydney (Australia). His parents are Israeli immigrants. He moved to Europe with his family at a very early age before moving to Israel where he served in the local army during his formative years. He spent many years abroad before returning to Sydney.[2] He collaborated with Sydney band, Gelbison, touring with the band and co-writing some of the tracks which appear on his debut album Good Morning. This led to the side project Nations by the River, which combined Gelbison with Luke Steele from Sleepy Jackson.

The single "Sunshine" was used as a theme for Channel 7's Sunrise.[3] The single "La" reached #83 on the German singles chart,[4] topped the Japanese Radio Airplay chart[5][6] and was #6 on Italy's airplay chart.[7] "La", "Trousers" and "Sunshine" all received significant airplay on Triple J.[3][8]

The single "La" was featured in a New York Lottery commercial.[9]

In 2014 Ohad Rein was one of the contestants on the third season of The Voice Israel.[10]
