Biography

Born in Israel, the son of film director Avi Cohen [he] and actress Meirav [he], the grandson of Pnina Gary and half-brother via the father of the TV editor Muli Segev. Michael Cohen began his musical career in collaboration with Michael Moshonov; the two founded the musical duo Cohen@Mushon,[1] and after they produced music videos for their songs they signed to the record label Hed Arzi. In 2008 Hed Artzi released "Kosher Gufani" (Hebrew: כושר גופני), the debut album of Cohen@Mushon. After 3 years they released their second album "Machshev Lekol Yeled" (Hebrew: מחשב לכל ילד), which got many praises.[2][3] at the same time Cohen produced multiple albums and singles to other artists, for example the album "Mamshichim Liv'ot" by the duo Peled & Ortega.
