Recent Career
In 2000, Zino became front-page news in the Israeli media when he disguised himself as a war-scarred singer. Dubbing himself “The Burned Man,” he created a fictitious biography and appeared in public disguised as a burned, masked cripple. The Israeli media gave The Burned Man and his mysterious story prime-time coverage, during which Zino revealed his true identity. After this “artistic terror act", The Burned Man’s first CD was released, becoming one of Israel’s all-time best-selling albums with over 450,000 copies sold according to Haim. A second title followed soon after.
Zino began collaborating with Tomer Biran ("Tommy") in 1997. The duo released four CDs with songs ranging from funk to rock to trance and chill-out. Three of their song were heard in the HBO TV show The Sopranos. The duo's music is also heard in several films including Click, RV (film) and Catwoman.
Their songs are heard on the compilation CDs Lotus Lounge, Buddha Bar, Happiness, and Café del Mar: Dreams. They also create music for many of Israel’s prime-time TV dramas, as well as game shows, movies, multimedia projects, and computer games.
