Born in 1982 in the Israel rural countryside, Shany Kedar (pronounced: Shah-knee Keh-dahr) practiced piano and after recovering from a mysterious virus at the age of 10, she never played it again. The grunge revolution caught her at 13, and made her pick up her sister's old acoustic guitar and start playing her favorite 3-chord punk rock songs.

After graduating Shenkar Deisgn school with honors, Kedar designed numerous memorable album covers for successful indie artists in the English-singing scene in Israel, yet her voice was not heard. After friend and local indie-mogul Omri Levy encouraged her to compose old and new lyrics, she began refining songs for her debut album, Bloodlines.

With Israeli multi-talented electro-acoustic artist Morphlexis as the producer, Kedar took into the studio her Low, Cat Power and Polly Jean Harvey influences, her artfully crafted lyrics, and three talented musicians. She still performs and designs from Tel Aviv, Israel.
