יונינה

"Yonina” (a combination of our names -Yoni and Nina Tokayer) began from the moment we met. We had both been pursuing music our entire lives, and once we met we began dreaming about making music together. We are an Israeli-American musical duo who first started sharing our music through weekly home videos posted to social media. Since we began posting our videos in 2016, our music has reached millions of viewers, the record being our cover of “One Day” which had over 40 million views from around the globe. Ever since, we’ve been performing throughout Israel, the US and Europe. In September of 2017 we released our debut album, "Emet Pshuta" (Simple Truth), with original hit songs like “Ahava”, “Rega Mechuvan”, “Seriously” and “Shir Shel Boker”. In June 2022 we released our 2nd album, "Somewhere in the Middle", an album inspired by our children and our experiences as parents. The album includes songs such as "I Can Do It", "Lyla Tov", "Eretz Yisrael", "Lamdeni" and "Movement", with music that hopefully both children and adults can enjoy and find meaningful. The outbreak of war following the events of Oct. 7th, 2023 inspired new songs such as "Melaketet Kochavim" and "Elohey Hayeladim", describing the reality, struggles and prayers which are part of life in Israel during these times. ​ We've been married for ten years and have four sweet children who make guest appearances in our videos . We live in the rural city of Pardes Chana, in Northern Israel.
