Moshe Peretz
Israeli musician
Moshe Haim Peretz (Hebrew: משה פרץ; born 10 May 1983) is an Israeli Mizrahi music pop singer-songwriter and composer. Beginning in 2013, Peretz acted as judge for The X Factor Israel.
Early life
Peretz was born and raised in Tiberias, Israel, to a Sephardic Jewish family. His father Miguel was of Moroccan-Jewish origin and his mother was of Iraqi-Jewish origin. Peretz started singing as a poet in a synagogue in Tiberias at the age of 13 and began to compose songs.
At the age of 18 Peretz was enlisted as a soldier to the Israel Defense Forces. During his military service, he performed "שיר המעלות", during Yom Hazikaron (Israel's Memorial Day) ceremonies held at his base that received positive feedback leading to him serving in a military music band. In 2002, he started writing songs while still serving in the army.
Career
After his honorable discharge from the IDF, he released his first album in 2005 entitled Mabit El Hamromim (מביט אל המרומים) that saw sale of over 10,000 copies in Israel. His follow-up album Esh (אש) in 2007 was even more successful selling 20,000 copies and certified gold.

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2902995. VIAF identifies the subject as 122184290. The Library of Congress control number is no2010103855. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2013, 2002 and 2005.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
