THIS Israeli native takes his origin from many different countries around the world from an Indian father and a North African mother,Nyr grew up in a musical family surrounded by musicians ,his father was a singer and a guitar player during the 60's and 70's. He was the one who encouraged him to sing, at the age of 7 Nyr already knew what he wanted to do.
At that point Nyr would start to sing everywhere he could, in front of small audiences, at family reunions at school and he also did some gigs with his father. He would listen to a lot of records his father would bring home .Nyr grew up listening to Steve Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and all the RnB and soul music around him which he fell in love with and has dedicated his life for.

IN FRANCE where Nyr spent most of his childhood, he studied music theory at the National Musical School of Villeurbanne and performed everywhere in the country with many different bands, he had his first experience as a songwriter with his brother Yoram.

IN 1998 Nyr decided to make the move to Paris where he was offered to sing in one of the greatest French musicals ?Starmania? but he refused it as the musical style wasn't what he wanted to pursue. He also worked for many different artists and musicians such as Organiz, Billy Paul, Honeyz... and with the producer U-Nam.
