Career
Early work (2016–2020)
In 2016, Weil began performing musical arrangements of her written poetry, debuting at the Levontin 7 club in Tel Aviv. That same year, she began participating in Poetry Slam events and poetry evenings across Israel.[1]
In 2018, she produced "Medabrot," a fundraising event for women in the cycle of prostitution, where she performed alongside Lucy Ayoub, Tehila Hakimi, and other artists.[2] That year, she began working on her debut album, Gurat Arayot Sfat Ze'evim (Lion’s Cub, Wolf’s Language), produced by Yehu Yaron.[3]
In 2019, she performed at the "Mila" festival at Teder (Tel Aviv) and the 22nd Metula Poetry Festival. Her poem "What I Do in My Bed" was featured on the radio program of Udi Segal and Keren Marciano on Galei Tzahal.[4]
In 2020, she participated in a tribute evening to the band HaMechashfot ("The Witches") in Tel Aviv. That same year, she released a live version of her song "Lo Menumas" ("Impolite"), which was broadcast on Kan Tarbut and the TV channel Kan 11 prior to its official release. Weil also participated in the "Remix" podcast project hosted by poet Adi Caesar and musician Ellyott, held as part of the International Writers Festival at Mishkenot Sha'ananim in Jerusalem,[5] as well as the "Shaon Horef" festival.
Debut album and poetry book (2021–2022)
In 2021, Weil participated in "Project 48: Creation and Isolation," during which she spent 48 hours in the "Kol HaOt" studio in Jerusalem and created the spoken-word piece "Someone Must Talk to Danielle." The piece was exhibited at the "Creative Isolation" exhibition as part of the Jerusalem Biennale.[6]
In August 2021, she released "Eich HaLo Shelach Yishama" ("What would be the sound of your 'No'"), the first single from her debut album. In November, the title track "Gurat Arayot Sfat Ze'evim" ("Lion’s cub, Wolf’s language") was released, followed by the single "Lo Menumas" ("Impolite") in February 2022.
The full album was released on February 15, 2022. Its songs received significant airplay on major radio stations, including Galgalatz and Kan Gimel.[7] Weil was a guest on Yoav Kutner's "Jam" on Galgalatz and on a special Hebrew Book Week program hosted by Adi Caesar.[8] Songs from the album appeared in year-end summaries by the website Walla! and Radio HaKatze, where the album was ranked 70th in the Israeli and International Albums Chart for 2022.[9][10]
In March 2022, she participated in the Enav Center's "Spotlight on Youth Creation" project.[11] In May, she artistically directed a music concerts marathon in Tel Aviv to raise funds for refugees from Ukraine, performing alongside Gal De Paz, Yehu Yaron, and others. That same month, she participated in the "Zot Tarbut" festival with the project "At She'ahava Nafshi," a musical-textual event she created and produced dealing with lesbian love and the tension between Judaism and the LGBTQ community.[12]
In November 2022, Weil performed at a festival celebrating the 1000th birthday of Solomon ibn Gabirol at the Beit Ariela Library. In December, she performed in "The Garden of Earthly Delights," an experiential theater show based on the painting by Hieronymus Bosch. That same month, her first poetry book, Lehisha'ein ("ReLie"), was published by Iton 77 and edited by Prof. Gabriel Moked. The book was shortlisted for the Snapir Poetry Prize by poetry critic Ilan Berkovitch and was selected as one of five "Tene Bikurim" ("First Fruits") books reviewed by Ran Yagil.[13] The book launch in January 2023, featuring actress Sara von Schwarze, artist Neta Wiener, and Adi Caesar, was covered by Haaretz.[14][7][15]
Recent projects (2023–present)
In March 2023, Weil released a remix of "Eich HaLo Shelach Yishama" (What Will Be the Sound of your 'No") collaborating with Ronen "Nenor" Sabo, and a new protest song, "Ein Hadashot Hadashot" ("No New News").[16] Both tracks received media attention and airplay on stations such as Galgalatz and Kan 88.[16] "Ein Hadashot Hadashot" was included in Columbus Music Magazine's end-of-year summary.[17]
In October 2023, Weil returned to the residency program at Kol HaOt studio in Jerusalem, presenting a new performance piece at the Jerusalem Biennale.[6]
