Who is Liel?
She was born Liel Kolet on a Kibbutz in the North of Israel, near the Lebanese border. She experienced the horrors of war as a child, spending many a day in a shelter with her family. Liel decided to use her voice and music as a means to promote peace in her homeland, sending a clear message that violence should not be a factor in her life, nor part of anyone else's. Later, at the tender age of 12 she entered a European talent contest in Italy and won. She never looked back.

At age 14, during her performance at an international event, surrounded by forty Arab and forty Jewish children, Liel invited President Bill Clinton to join her on stage for a song. CNN broadcast President Clinton and Liel singing together one of history’s most important songs about peace - John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Liel's historical duet with the President gave her world-wide exposure.

Liel became highly sought after for concerts and various charitable events throughout the world. She caught the attention of many heads of state. President Clinton later invited her to perform in Los Angeles. She sang the Canadian Anthem at a tribute event to Nelson Mandela. Former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev and German President Horst Köhler are also said to be amongst her biggest fans.

Today Liel continues to incorporate a message of peace in her performances throughout the world. She has received the prestigious German Radio Award for her work promoting world peace. International legends, such as: Andrea Bocelli, Herbie Hancock, Patty Labelle and the Scorpions, have all recorded songs with Liel, in support of her efforts to promote peace and love.

She has just recorded her first single to be released in the United States with hit songwriter & producer Walter Afanasieff. Her single will be released in America on March 2012.
