Avi Benedi (Hebrew: אבי בנדי, born April 2, 1980) is an Israeli singer and songwriter. He has released two albums: Avi Benedi & Diamond Band in 2001 (in Austria) and We Met Late (Встретились поздно) in 2012 (in Russia).
Avi Benedi was born in Israel on 2 April 1980. When he was four years old, his family moved to live in Vienna, Austria. His parents have Russian roots. His father, Eduard Babadost, is a famous tenor in Austria, and his grandfather is a folk artist in Tajikistan. Avi Benedi has two brothers: one is a jewellery and fashion designer, and the other is the talented young director, Lior Babadost.
Avi speaks and sings in a number of languages: Hebrew, English, German, Russian, Bulgarian, Persian, Bukhori, Slovakian and Romanian.
Avi Benedi has graduated from the College of Photography and Film Arts in Vienna. From 1999 until 2008, he worked as operator-in-charge at Austrian TV channel ATV, but that did not prevent him from continuing to follow his dream.
In the meantime, he began writing his own music and working professionally with his band, which was called Diamond Band. Together, they became very popular and, in the period 2003-2006, performed many concerts across the world. In Israel, Avi Benedi and the Diamond Band had their breakthrough hit with the song Live Like In A Movie, which was at the top of the music charts for four weeks.
In 2006, Avi Benedi launched his solo career in Russia, where he moved to live for several years working together with Philipp Kirkorov for several projects.
Since the beginning of 2014, Avi Benedi has been working together with Bulgarian record label Payner. As a singer and composer, Avi Benedi became famous in Bulgaria for his two collaborations with Emilia: Кой ще му каже (Boi Tegali Li) and Balkania.
