Her album NONA was the first English-speaking album released by an Israeli artist and also the first to hit number 1 on the nation’s top-selling album charts.

Noa is also a member of “Summit Series” organization for young entrepreneurs, The Israeli Consulate Speakers Bureau, a member of the ILC (Israeli Leadership Council) and is a mentor for Women In Film. Tishby served in the Israeli army for two and a half years and can, if needed and if pushed to do it, wield any weapon like she means it and kick some serious A$@, though she chooses not to do that so much these days. (Just checking to see if anyone is still reading this Megillah. But seriously, she can actually do that. So don’t test her).
