Orly Forman, contemporary Israeli-American singer, song-writer, vocalist, guitarist and piano player…
Orly was born in Washington D.C., but raised in Israel along with her 3 older sisters in a home that was always filled with music of all genres. Her father had an unbelievable record and tape collection, and listened to everything imaginable… old ballads, Elvis Presley, rock- ‘n-‘roll, folksongs of the 60’s, show tunes, jazz, rock, classical… you name it.
She grew up with melodies in her ears and harmonies in her head, developing a love for music that grew stronger and stronger.
Orly started to play piano at a very young age; then took up the guitar. She started writing songs as a teenager, and performed in her hometown, Jerusalem, as well as in Tel Aviv, receiving acclaim for her distinctive sound. Her voice is full of seeming contradictions; it is soft, yet strong; delicate yet powerful.
Orly's songs are original, honest, and full of passion. They share with us the highs of love, the pain of loss, the feelings of regret and self-doubt.
Orly's voice and spirit captivated Yagel's heart, and they started to work together, sharing and collaborating on new songs.
