Asaf Avidan (Hebrew: אסף אבידן; born March 23, 1980) is an Israeli singer-songwriter. From 2006 to 2011, he was part of the group Asaf Avidan & the Mojos, independently releasing three studio albums. The Reckoning, their debut record, was certified Gold in Israel and became one of the best-selling independent albums there. After disbanding in 2011, a 2012 remix of Asaf Avidan & the Mojos’ single “Reckoning Song” (2008) by German disc jockey Wankelmut — retitled into One Day / Reckoning Song — attained widespread commercial success throughout Europe. It topped the charts in several countries and was certified Gold and Platinum. In 2012, Avidan started a solo career, eventually releasing three studio albums to moderate success in European countries. Asaf Avidan was born in Jerusalem. Avidan’s grandparents emigrated from Romania to Israel. He spent four years of his youth in Jamaica. He completed mandatory army service in the Israel Defense Forces and studied animation at Jerusalem’s Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, with his final project short film Find Love Now winning an award at the Haifa Film Festival that year. Subsequently, Avidan moved to Tel Aviv and worked as an animator. In 2006, after breaking up with his long‑time girlfriend, he moved back to Jerusalem, releasing his first EP Now That You’re Leaving later that year.
