Noa's Early Life and Family
Noa Kirel grew up in Ra'anana, Israel. Her parents were both born in Israel. Her family has different Jewish backgrounds, including Sephardi Jewish, Mizrahi Jewish (from Morocco), and Ashkenazi Jewish (from Austria).
Noa is the youngest of three children. She has two older brothers, Niv and Ofree. Her father runs a glass business, and her mother owns a fashion store.
When Noa was a baby, she had a serious kidney illness. A rabbi suggested changing her name from Noya to Noa. In Hebrew, Noa can mean "movement," and the rabbi hoped it would bring her good health. He even joked that she might become a dancer! Noa still has only one working kidney because of that illness.
In February 2020, Noa joined the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). She served as a soldier in a special military band. She finished her two years of service in February 2022.
Noa started dating Israeli football goalkeeper Daniel Peretz in July 2023. They got engaged in September 2024.

Noa Kirel first appeared on a TV show called Pushers. This show followed wealthy parents who helped their children succeed in different fields. Noa and her father were part of the show, showing how her father supported her music career.
In 2015, Noa released her first song on YouTube called Medabrim? (meaning "talking?"). It was very popular, and she soon released another song called Killer. This song's music video caused some discussion because Noa was so young.
She continued to release more songs that were played on Israeli radio stations. Some of these hits included Yesh Bi Ahava, Rak Ata, and Hatzi Meshuga. At the end of 2016, she won the Singer of the Year award at the Israeli Kids' Choice Awards.
In 2017, Noa became a host for the music show LipStar on the Yes KidZ channel. She also released songs like Makom LeShinui and Lirkod. That year, she starred in a teen movie called Nearly Famous. She also performed in the musical The Three Musketeers. Noa represented Israel at the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards.
