Diana Golbi (Hebrew: דיאנה גולבי‎; born Diana Igorevna Golovanov (Russian: Диана Игоревна Голованов) in Moscow, Russia on January 16, 1992[1]) is a Russian-Israeli singer and actress, the eighth winner of Kokhav Nolad, the Israeli version of Pop Idol. Golbi is the third female participant to win the show (following Ninet Tayeb on the first season and Roni Dalumi on the seventh season).

Personal life

Golbi was born as Diana Golovanov in Moscow,[1] Russia. When she turned four, her parents decided to immigrate to Israel,[2] and moved to the city of Holon,.[1] Already in her childhood, Golbi fell in love with the stage. She studied theatre in an American studio, and when she was 12, she went to perform in a big theatre in St. Petersburg.[1]

Golbi also loves football. She played on a girl team in Petah Tikva, coached by her father, even though she did prefer performing on stage.During 2008 Golbi and her friends formed a rock band , called HaRusim (Hebrew: הרוסים). HaRusim is a double meaning: it means both "The Ruined Ones" and "The Russian Ones" in Hebrew, since the members of the band are all Russian originally.[1]

Kokhav Nolad 8

During 2010, Golbi went to audition for the eighth season of Kokhav Nolad. She impressed the judges and was accepted. In the night of September 4, 2010, she won 53% of the votes and beat Idan Amedi, and was therefore crowned as the winner of Kokhav Nolad 8. She won a scholarship of 240,000 shekels, and a production contract from the music producer Louis Lahav.[2]
