Ivri Lider (Hebrew:עברי לידר; born 10 February 1974) is an Israeli pop star and part of the duoTYP, also known asThe Young Professionals.[1] He served as a judge on thefirst season ofThe X Factor Israel.[2]
In October 2005 Lider received the "Male Singer of the Year" award from all the major national and local radio stations. He composed most of the soundtrack for the movieThe Bubble, and sings the song "Loving That Man of Mine".[3]
In 2008 Lider launched a new Hebrew album and announced an upcoming English album. The music video for his English-language song "Jesse" has received a lot of airtime on LOGO TV, andOut magazine recognized him as a member of the "Out 100" for 2007.[4]
Lider is openlygay. In January 2002, Lider spoke openly about his sexual orientation in a cover-story interview to the daily newspaperMaariv, which attracted a lot of attention. He later said, "On a personal level, I felt complete and happy with my life and who I am, and I didn't see any reason to not talk about it. It seemed strange to have an interview and not to talk about it, about my boyfriend, about my life. On a less personal level, I felt it's kind of my obligation. When you're an artist and you're doing well and you're successful, you get a lot of love and appreciation and energy and good things from people, and I think you need to give it back. Maybe I can influence people and help younger people that struggle – help them to be able to change their views, and stuff like that." Lider refused to be drawn into the debate about the JerusalemGay Pride Parade.[5] He did, however, accept a booking to play at theSydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras' "Fair Day" in Camperdown, Australia on Sunday, 21 February 2010.[6]
