Efrat Gosh is a popular Israeli singer. Gosh was born and raised in Herzliya, Israel where as a middle child with a younger and an older brother she became influenced by the jazz music of Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker. Gosh's music career began when some friends asked her if she could record a demo with Yoni Bloch whom had written it for Nurit Galron (a famous Israeli singer). She agreed and a week later was asked to sing backing vocals in Bloch’s shows. The decision to join the show turned out to be an important one, as Bloch and Gosh looked to the audience and saw head of the Hebrew Department of the major Israeli music label NMC at the time, Chaim Shemesh, with whom Yoni Bloch signed at the time. Shemesh, with a history of discovering and nourishing talented stars like Aviv Geffen, Eifo HaYeled, HaKhaverim Shel Natasha, HaYehudim, Eviyatar Banai and many more artists, was so impressed by the backing vocalist that he went on to sign a contract with her as well. After a long period of having a strictly professional relationship, Gosh and Shemesh have developed a romantic relationship which seems to have ended in 2009. Shemesh is still Efrat Gosh's manager.
