The story of the Kadosh brothers' ensemble begins in their home in Tel Aviv. Onn, the second brother in the family and the eldest among the three in the ensemble, started his musical journey in elementary school. His life revolved around music studies and playing a variety of instruments, and above all, his love for the oud stood out. The enchanting sounds of Onn's oud filled the house and echoed the ancient roots of the family heritage.

These captivating sounds also drew in Onn's younger brother, Elya, who fell in love with the double bass at the age of 11. Today, Elya performs in leading jazz ensembles in Israel and worldwide. Shortly after, Elamar, the youngest of the brothers, discovered his passion for music as well. Starting at the age of 7, he specialized in playing drums and later explored and learned other percussion instruments.

Onn Yosef, the composer and leader of the ensemble, dedicated many years to composing a variety of unique pieces, especially for the Kadosh brothers' ensemble. Throughout their childhood, the Kadosh brothers played together every day, creating the soundtrack of their youth. Music became a connecting force between them, evolving into a shared language through which they communicated.

In the past year, the Kadosh brothers have focused on working on their debut album, set to be released in November 2024. Their performances captivate the audience, offering a unique, innovative, and groundbreaking musical experience.
