Hanan Ben Ari (Hebrew: חנן בן ארי, born 8 April 1988) is an Israeli singer, songwriter, and composer. His debut album, Izun (Balance), released 21 February 2016, was certified gold in Israel with 15,000 copies sold in three months[1] and received heavy radio play on Galgalatz.[2][3][4] He has been noted as one of relatively few religious artists, including Ishay Ribo and Nathan Goshen, who have found success in the secular Israeli mainstream.[5]
