Kidron is the lead singer of Irish-Australian electro-house and dance music group, The Potbelleez. Kidron co-wrote the group's breakthrough single, "Don't Hold Back", which peaked at No. 5 on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified 2× Platinum by ARIA.

He currently writes for and performs with The Potbelleez as well as composing music for other well known artists such as Ricky Martin, Jessica Mauboy and Tina Arena.

Ilan Kidron was born on 22 April 1976 in London, England. During his school life he learned to speak fluently in several languages and, as a classical graduate from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Australia, is an accomplished guitarist, flautist and pianist. Kidron studied screen composition at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School and also spent time studying at the International Music Centre Ashram in Varanasi, India.

Kidron plays a wide array of music. Though he comes from a background in "rock, folk, jazz, klezmer and a crooner" music, Kidron moved into dance music when he joined The Potbelleez. When describing his transition to dance, Kidron stated, "You got to find new ways to dig deep and dance music's a really good way of doing that because it's built around tension and release. The song-writing takes on a bigger form with dance music, and it's accentuated by this amazing soundscape."
