Early life
Odeya Azulay was born and raised in Bat Yam to a family of Moroccan origin in a religious home and attended a religious school. Around the age of 11, she distanced herself from religion and transferred to a secular school. After a few years, she began to approach religion again.[1][2] In an interview with the website Frogi, she said: "I know there is an interest in women's singing, but I have a rabbi who I go to and he strengthens me a lot".[1] She later added that "since my return to religion, I have been writing about slightly deeper topics; about Judaism, the soul, about the Creator of the world".[1] In an interview with Maariv for Youth, she said that she auditioned for the TV show Music School (Television show).[3] In October 2019, she enlisted in the IDF.
