Zoltak, a hearing-impaired woman, openly discusses her hearing loss, aiming to

break the stigma around it and promote the use of hearing aids.
Born in Kiryat Ata, her parents immigrated from Poland and Russia during the 1970s
wave of Aliyah from the Soviet Union.[1]
Her first single, "Achshav Tori Ledaber" ("Now It's My Turn to Speak"), aired on
Channel 24 in 2005 and entered the channel's playlist. During this period, she
adopted the stage name "Emili".[2]
In 2011, she opened for the German new wave band And One at Barby Club in Tel Aviv.
In 2013, she opened for the German synth-pop and EBM band VNV Nation at the same
venue. In 2015, she performed with Felix Marc and the German synth-pop band Diorama
at the Barby Club in Tel Aviv.
In 2013, Zoltak released the single "Ma She'ata Hitchalta"[3] ("What You Started")
in collaboration with rapper HaTzel, but before the music video was released, a
conflict arose between them due to ideological differences following the outbreak
of Operation Protective Edge. Zoltak addressed the dispute stating, "Our energies
are probably not on the same wavelength. I prefer to do things calmly, accept
everyone, and be accepted by anyone who accepts me, regardless of origin or
religion."[4]
A year later, in 2014, Zoltak released her debut album, Ekdach Ta'un[5] (Loaded
Gun). From this album, the single "Lo Tamid" ("Not Always") was played on the radio
and performed live on Channel 24.[6]
Zoltak has collaborated with prominent artists such as Sihai Ma'ayan, Amir Dadon,
and Eifo HaYeled.[7] In 2023, she released a single she wrote and composed titled
"Khalula" ("Void").
Zoltak is an advocate for the rights and awareness of hearing-impaired and deaf
individuals. Since 2020, she has been serving as an ambassador for the organization
Circle of Hearing. Within this role, she has participated in various campaigns to
inspire children and adolescents with hearing impairments, using herself as a model
as a woman with hearing loss who also uses hearing aids.[citation needed]
In the same year, she initiated the project Zoltak Kashevet, a voice development
lesson for students in grades 6 to 9, teaching them how to sing properly, perform,
and present.[citation needed]
