Biography[]
Nasrin Kadri was born in Haifa, Israel, to Muslim-Arab parents. Her father was a taxi driver and her mother was a nurse. She was raised in Lod. She completed her conversion to Judaism in 2018 and took the Hebrew first name "Bracha" , meaning "blessing." According to news reports her conversion is not recognized by the Chief Rabbinate or the Interior Ministry because it was carried out by a rabbi independent of the authorities.
Singing career[]
In 2011, after performing for years in small clubs and bars, she won the television star search program Eyal Golan Is Calling You. In 2017, she was invited by Israeli culture minister Miri Regev to perform at the Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem in a ceremony marking Yom HaZikaron, Israeli Memorial Day. On September 4, 2018, she released her third album Learning to Walk. That same year she re-recorded the song "Goral Ehad" by Ofra Haza, for an album that honored Ofra Haza. On January 28, 2019, she released the song "Yishma-HaEl," which describes the difficult period she underwent following her conversion. In 2019, Kadri was a judge on the fifth season of The Voice Israel.
