Yoav Oved moved to England, from Israel, in 2012 to study music at Royal Holloway University. Currently, Yoav educates on Jewish and Israeli ethnic music, singing both Mizrakhi and Ashkenazi music. He works closely with the Jewish Music Institute to educate on ethnicity through
performance and has built programmes to represent this.
Yoav currently sings as a Cantorial Singer at Westminster Synagogue and lead singer in a Mizrakhi band “EasternBeats”.
Notable performances include participating as a soloist with the LSO in a contemporary visual arts project, a lead role in "Letters from the Affair" talking about a different viewpoint in the Dreyfus affair, a lead role in the dramatic rendition of "Dina" by Diane Samuels and Maurice Chernik, and singing the "El Male Rachamim" prayer at the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony at City Hall.
Yoav does not have any set days in the office.
