BAR & BAT MITZVAHS, WEDDINGS, COMMUNITY EVENTS

A Jewish Singer for Your Simcha

I’m Cory Hecht, a Bondi-based Jewish singer and beatboxer with more than fifteen years on stage. I perform at bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings and community events across Sydney, and I can run the sound for the whole event too.

Performing member of The Maccabeats since 2017 · Former music director of the Y-Studs · Performed at the White House and with Josh Groban · Kol HaOlam winner, 2015

What I Bring to Your Event

Live vocals

Jewish and contemporary songs in Hebrew and English, solo or with a group.

A cappella and beatboxing

High-energy a cappella and beatboxing that gets the whole room involved, from kids to grandparents.

Live sound

Speakers, microphones and a mixing desk for weekday events, so every speech, bracha and song is heard clearly.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Ask Me Anything

Yes. I sing in Hebrew and English, and I’m always adding to my Jewish repertoire. If there’s a particular song you’d like, let me know and I’ll see if I can accommodate it.

Yes, in a way that keeps Shabbat. I’m shomer Shabbat, so on Shabbat and Yom Tov I don’t use microphones, amplification or any electronics, and I don’t run sound. I’m happy to lead Shabbat singing and Kabbalat Shabbat services, or run beatbox and music workshops taught by rote.

During the week, in many cases, yes. Get in touch and we’ll work out what suits your event best.

Yes. For weekday events I bring speakers, microphones, a mixing desk and everything else needed for great sound.

Yes. I’m based in Bondi and available to travel for events.
