About Gilad Segev:

Gilad Segev is an internationally acclaimed Israeli musician whose numerous top-ten hits have earned him millions of followers worldwide, particularly through his successful “Passerby” project. In the midst of a global tour when the tragic events of October 7th unfolded, Gilad immediately returned home to Israel. Witnessing first-hand how Israeli society united like never before — through extraordinary generosity, volunteerism and countless reservists reporting for duty even before being summoned — he knew he had a contribution to make. Gilad channeled his artistic talents into a purposeful mission, using his music to honor ordinary people who displayed extraordinary bravery. This evolved into his broader vision: to ignite a spark within everyone, inspiring each of us to carry this spirit of heroism forward and realize our fullest potential.
