Sagi Gevol, a Hasidic rocker who breaks with existing conventions, with a special joy that breaks boundaries and definitions, began his journey as a musician in an Australian rock band.
After his conversion and his approach to Chabad Hasidism, he currently serves as the emissary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe in Moshav Ahiezer in central Israel.
Upon his conversion, he discovered a new musical world.

At gatherings and events, he plays melodies with special devotion. His musical sense and attraction to sacred melodies led him to open the 'Hasidika' band, with which he plays songs he wrote and composed in unique performances throughout the country.
In his music, Sagi expresses the Hasidic concept of "chutzha dekdushah" - a Hasidic concept that says that a Jew is the master of reality and does not need to fear the darkness of exile, but rather to gallop forward.
Now, on the occasion of the holiday of Purim, Sagi is coming out with the new single 'Son of a King', which connects on the one hand to the simplicity of a person, a Jew. And on the other hand, to the power and strength that comes from being the son of a king. This comes after ten years in which Sagi has not released his own original single.
Avshalom Derricks was entrusted with the production and musical arrangement.
The main message of the song is that we should not forget for a moment that "this is what will be done to the man whom the king desires to visit." Despite the darkness and concealment, we are left to believe, rejoice, and sing.
