Lee (Libi) Biran (born :16.12.89 ) is the brightest new star in Israeli rock, an 18 y/o musical prodigy, singer and guitar player and one of the favorites to win this year כוכב נולד which is the Israeli version of American Idol.

Libi has a tearing emotional voice which slightly resembles Radiohead's Thom Yorke's. Libi is gradually becoming famed for taking almost any song (and being unprdicted and adventurous about it), owning it and transforming it into a fiery, blazing rock number, the kind he likes to do. He is said by the judges to have a "British form of presentation" when performing and although so far everything Libi's sung was within the defined limits of the competition, his personal charm, raw talent and stage presence have already given him an unique style as a performer. Libi is currenty a soldier in the IDF serving his mandatory 3 years as required in Israel when you turn 18 and when he's not in the army or on stage he lives with his supporting parents and family in the town of Kfar-Saba. Libi's growing number of fans is anxious to find out what plans does he have for after the competition whether he wins or not. One thing for sure: This kid from Israel has the skills, the looks, the soul and the fire to take all this "thing" of his outside and smash the international boundary, like so few Israelis have done in the past, and do so in a fresh and exciting way.
