Mendy Portnoy (born 16 April 1992) is an English-born Israeli singer, pianist, and composer. He is best known as half of the folk rock duo the Portnoy Brothers with his older sibling Sruli. He has also released two albums as a solo artist.

Early life

Portnoy was born on 16 April 1992 in Manchester, England, one of nine children. His father is a rabbi and former orchestra conductor. He and five other siblings made aliyah to Israel as adults.[1]

He and his brother Sruli studied music from a young age and began playing together around age 14. He originally took guitar lessons, with Sruli taking piano, before the two switched.[1]

Career

In 2010, he performed at the Complete Unity Concert at Heichal Shlomo alongside Aharit Hayamim, Shtar, and JudaBlue.[2] He and Sruli participated in the music video "Waving Flags", performed by campers and volunteer staff at Camp Simcha.[3]

Mendy Portnoy was featured on composer Yossi Green's 2015 album Pianesque. That same year, he collaborated with singer and saxophonist Daniel Zamir on Esa Einai, an album of Shlomo Carlebach songs, and released a short online-only piano album entitled Holy Days.

He was the final keyboardist for the Jewish rock band Hamakor, performing on their 2014 single "Lift Me Up".
