“From a young age I realized that I was destined for the world of music,” says Lial. “I participated in musical ensembles from the age of five and also initiated performances myself.

Several years have passed since then and I have also performed in public places, such as community centers.”
What are the first steps you took to achieve your goal?
“My first step was when I took voice development lessons, I also started performing in bars that hold an open stage night and I made sure to do this at least twice a week in order to rub off.

What experience did you take with you from studying music at Ramon?
“In one of the classes, the teacher who taught me gave a task that asked her to choose singers and imitate them, from their clothing to their tone. I imitated Celine Dion and when I saw that I could sing in her tone, my walls were broken and I gained a lot of confidence. The task is a turning point for me, because before I was afraid of faking In a performance in front of an audience and since then I go on stage with a smile and much more liberated.”

“I released the song with the producer Tal Furer and the one who connected me to him is the actor Aki Avni, who is also a good friend of my parents. ‘Mistakes’ was inspired by my ex, from whom I broke up after three years of marriage. I decided to make lemonade out of lemons. I received positive feedback on the single, For example, from girls who sent me on Instagram singing it in the car, from girls who put it on during practice and my ex himself also liked the song and was happy for me.”
Tell us a little bit about the album
“I’m about to release a romantic pop album of singles that I created together with Tslili Klipi, Machloof and Shay Pinto. All the songs are love songs that I wrote during periods when I got out of long relationships, but we gave each song its own world. It’s a fun album and I think a lot of girls will identify with the songs I wrote in an open way, because they talk about all kinds of situations that are going on in their lives and that way they won’t actually feel alone.”
And how does it feel to work with these creators?
“Amazing! I learned a lot from them in everything and they really made me feel at home. I was honored to collaborate with them, because after all, they are very professional people in the field and it was a significant learning for me.”

Which of the singers in Israel would you like to perform a duet with?
“I would be happy to do a duet with Nega Erez and also with Tamir Greenberg. Each of them gives an amazing show and also because I love that they both do everything in a big way and work with lots of people, whether they are Tamir’s backing singers or Nega’s. I myself am a people person and want to have as many partners as possible in the process I go through as a singer.”
