Hebrew for 'a woman's voice,' kol isha has chosen this artist name as a symbolic rebirth. It is a statement and celebration of finding her true voice as an artist and woman, simultaneously honoring her Jewish heritage while critiquing elements of its politics, practices, and traditions. kol isha presents her name in lowercase as a nod to the great thinker, feminist, and activist bell hooks, and to further diminish her own egoic identity—an inspiration drawn from her engagement with Buddhist practices and philosophy.
Her live shows merge electronic production with acoustic instrumentation, dynamic vocals, and full-bodied movement, creating performances that unfold as Ceremony.
