Childhood & Formative Years
On March 12, 1975, Tzachi Halevy was born in Petah Tikva, Israel. His father’s job required his family to relocate frequently, therefore he was reared abroad despite being born into a Jewish family. His father was employed in the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and was an eighth-generation Sabra. Because his mother was a Moroccan Jew and his father was an Israeli Jew, Halevy had mixed ancestry. Halevy enlisted in the “Israeli Defense Forces” to fulfill his necessary military duty after completing his education. Halevy participated in a few covert military missions during his three years of duty. He initially enlisted in the “Samson Unit,” a special squad that operates in the Gaza Strip. After that, he worked as an officer for the ‘Duvdevan Unit,’ a group renowned for conducting undercover operations in cities.

He participated in the first season of the 2012 television reality series “The Voice Israel” after he had enough experience as a musician. He received coaching from well-known Israeli vocalist Shlomi Shabat for the performance. Halevy performed well and made it to the finals even if he did not win the competition. After that, he recorded his debut album, “Kivvunim,” which was made available in 2012. He began his acting career at the same time, making appearances in plays at the “Habima Theatre” and “Haifa Theater.” He made his feature film debut in the 2013 drama picture “Bethlehem,” because of his acting prowess.
