The thing a singer hopes for most at the beginning of his career is to find a 'businessman' who he likes and wants to invest in.<\/p>\r\n
Yoni is one of those who have been blessed with this, and more than once.<\/p>\r\n
\""At one of the weddings where I performed," recalls Yoni, "a man named Yitzhak Kalfon approached me and was interested in producing a Chabad record with me. Yitzhak, a successful businessman, financed my first record, 'Shamil' - Chabad melodies.".<\/p>\r\n
In the years that followed, Yoni formed a special bond with musician and arranger Moshe Laufer.<\/p>\r\n
\""I called him one day, Moshe Laufer," says Yoni, "and I was interested in producing my own record with his arrangement. From the conversation with him, I realized that at this point I would not be able to afford the high expenses of producing a record. 'In any case,' Moshe told me, 'I'm coming to France in two weeks, and we can meet.'".<\/p>\r\n
Yoni meets Laufer and gives him a recording of himself singing with the prodigy Amit Listwand. A few months later, he receives a surprising message from the producer: "Hello, I have an investor for you, get back to me urgently!"\"<\/p>\r\n
\""I call him back," says Yoni, "and it turns out that one of his friends, a successful businessman named Yehuda Rosenberg, decided he wanted to establish a special format in the Hasidic music industry. And his demand was, in the first stage, to find a new singer with good potential, who had not been heard of yet - and he is interested in investing in him, to be his 'house singer.'.<\/p>\r\n

\""Laufer, along with several other consultants, went through hundreds of recordings in an attempt to find the right singer. Then they listened to the recording I sent to Laufer at the time, and they liked it, and I was chosen to be the singer on whom the first campaign would be based.<\/p>\r\n
\""As part of the campaign, four singles were produced for me, composed and arranged by Moshe Laufer.".<\/p>\r\n
In the years that followed, Moshe Laufer himself invested in Yoni Shlomo, producing a full-length album for him with the hit "Tana Debi Eliyahu." Yoni is currently working on another album, which is already in the vocal recording stage.<\/p>\r\n
