Gosh was born in 1983 and raised as a middle child with a younger and an older brother in Herzliya, Israel. She attended the music department at Alon high school in Ramat Hasharon. She continued her education at the Rimon school of music, focusing on Jazz.[1] Efrat became influenced by music of Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker.
Gosh's music career began when some friends asked her if she could record a demo with Yoni Bloch whom had written it for Nurit Galron (a famous Israeli singer). She agreed and a week later was asked to sing backing vocals in Bloch’s shows. The decision to join the show turned out to be an important one, as Bloch and Gosh looked to the audience and saw the head of the Hebrew Department of the major Israeli music label NMC at the time, Chaim Shemesh, with whom Yoni Bloch signed at the time.
Shemesh, with a history of discovering and nourishing talented stars like Aviv Geffen, Eifo HaYeled, HaKhaverim Shel Natasha, HaYehudim, Eviyatar Banai and many more artists, was so impressed by the backing vocalist that he went on to sign a contract with her as well.
During 2009 only, Gosh Voiced Zoe Drake in the Anime Series Dinosaur King, Voiced Foofa in Yo Gabba Gabba! and Also in Once Upon a Time... Planet Earth.
