Bezalel Raviv

Chaim Yitzak Bezalel Raviv (born July 21, 1979), better known as Bezalel Raviv, is an Israeli born power pop/dance singer/songwriter.
The youngest of six sisters and six brothers, Raviv was brought up as an orthodox Jew in the north of Israel. From his infancy, Raviv had known music would play a big role in his life, despite his background.
At age 10, he was "snatched" to be an active member of "Flowers of Jerusalem", Israel's national choir, but due to a dramatic voice transformation he went through, he was asked to leave the band just a year later, by the group's doctor.
As a result of that, he started to secretly compose music and write lyrics, expressing his feelings. After the military service, at age 21, Raviv has decided to leave Israel and to spend some time in New York City, a time Raviv now refers to as "my second childhood". He spent 3 years in New York, singing at clubs and bars. At age 26, after arriving in Europe, Raviv’s first official single "Into My Life" (Logic Records/Self/SIAE) debuted in Italy on November 2006, and with all the support he got, "Into My Life" has charted the Italian Top 20 on January 2007, peaking at number 6, and got the same success in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Russia and Japan. "Into My Life", a melodic Pop/Dance tune is currently being played across Europe. Only then he was featured on the cover of Clubbing Magazine, the special March issue 2007.
Raviv was then also interviewed by Riccardo Sada for Jocks Magazine and Trend Magazine.
"Good Together", Raviv's second single, was released by EMI Publishing in Europe and Israel, Raviv’s homeland on July 30th, 2007.
In order to promote "Good Together" and get people to review it, Raviv has decided to launched "The Good Together Remix Contest" where he uploaded the a cappella of the song on his MySpace page.
Good Together is a strong political message that is sugarcoated in a beautiful sentimental melody.
Raviv also realized that the softer approach would bring the song to a wider audience.
