Rami Fortis (Hebrew: רמי פורטיס; born July 7, 1954), or simply Fortis, is an Israeli rock singer. Born in Tel Aviv, Fortis became known as a pioneer of Israeli punk rock.[1] His debut album Plonter, released in 1978, was not a commercial success at the time, though today it is considered an influential cult album.[2] His fame in Israel came with the release of a Hebrew language album, Sipurim Me'hakufsa (Tales from the Box), in 1988.[3] Due to his behaviour on stage he was nicknamed The Madman (HaMeshuga).
Apart from his work in music, Rami Fortis served as a judge for the first season of The X Factor Israel.[4]
