After studying piano a few years, she switched to\nvoice and began intensive singing lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After\nmoving to Israel in 2011, Enat became a bandleader and vocalist with the Israel\nDefense Force Band and served in the IDF for two years. That inspired her to\nstudy music more in depth. In 2015,&nbsp;Enat received a scholarship from Berklee\nCollege of Music, where she studied&nbsp;<em>Contemporary Writing and Production<\/em>,\nand explored diverse genres such as jazz, pop, Middle Eastern and electronic\ndance music for the first time. In 2017, while studying in Valencia, Spain, she\nwon a Music Production Award in collaboration&nbsp;with Fariz Ahmed and Dhaval\nKotari; the judges were Indian entertainers Clinton Cerejo and Rensil d\u2019Silva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After\ngraduating in 2018, Enat moved to New York City. There, she&nbsp;worked&nbsp;at the Cutting Room\nStudios in Manhattan, produced&nbsp;Lea Kalisch&#8217;s debut single \u201c<em>Eshet Chayil\nof Hip Hop<\/em>\u201d and composed the soundtrack for a Tel Aviv-based contemporary\ndance show, \u201c<em>Tzumud,<\/em>\u201d performed by Tamara Dagan and Sara Paternesi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nmid-2019, Enat joined an all-female creative team as the composer and sound\ndesigner for a New York-based solo show, \u201c<em>In the Kitchen,<\/em>\u201d written by\nHannah Goldman and produced by Experimental Bitch Represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enat returned to Israel at the end of 2019.

Do you write your own\nsongs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I picked up the piano when I was three years old. Later, I\nstarted taking voice lessons and that\u2019s when I realized that I wanted to pursue\nmusic full time. In 2018, I graduated from Berklee College of Music and\ncontinued as a music producer and teacher in NYC. I\u2019m an independent music\nproducer; therefore, I mainly do client-based projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NY\nGlam:<\/strong> <strong>Which instruments do you play if any?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voice and piano.

However, if I had to\nput it in a nutshell, I believe, I\u2019m mixing Hip Hop, Funk, R&amp;B and Middle\nEastern influences with Electropop.
