Shalom Chanoch

Shalom Hanoch was born in Kibbutz Mishmarot. As a child his musical talent was known in the Kibbutz, and until he discovered Rock music, he listened to a wide variety of genres (from Classical, through Russian folk music, Gospel and Blues). After getting his first Jazz guitar when he was 12 years old, Hanoch began composing his own songs. By the age of 14 he had completed his first song - Laila (Night). Along with another member of the Kibbutz, Meir Ariel, he wrote more songs, and joined the Kibbutz's band - "HaMishmaron".
