Shay Gabso is a 26 years old religious Israeli artist. Shay became religious at the age of 12, and grew up in a traditional family. He studies at a yeshiva everyday and performs religious songs such as "Arim Roshi", and "Eli Eli". In addition to performing, Shay also studies acting, and writes books and scripts. In 2003 Shay Gabso was discovered when he took part in the first season of "Kochav Nolad", the Israeli version of American Idol", where he reached the finals together with Ninet Tayeb.
