Sarit Hadad (Hebrew: שרית חדד, born September 20, 1978) is a popular Israeli singer. Born in Hadera, Israel, her real name is Sara Hodedtov (Hebrew: שרה חודדטוב). She comes from a musical family and was recognized as a child prodigy early on.
At the age of eight, she started performing on the piano at a local club without telling her parents. This went on for two years until they found out. Apart from classical piano, she taught herself to play other instruments, among them organ, guitar, accordion and a Middle Eastern drum called the darbuka. At the age of 15, she joined the Hadera Youth Band.
Her career as a pop singer has been highly successful, with many of her songs topping the Israeli charts. Israeli Television selected her to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. The song, Light a Candle,came in 12th place.
In December 2006, Sarit Hadad drew crowds in New York, Miami and Los Angeles with her "Sing with Sarit" tour [1].
