Offer Nissim

Offer Nissim (עופר ניסים) is an Israeli DJ, remixer, and record producer.

His musical career started in 1979, when he had to stand in for an absent DJ at Tel Aviv's Theater Club.

The Theater Club was also the place where, during the following decade, he formed important professional relationships, among them with Dana International.

In 1993, Nissim produced Dana International's debut single, "Saida Sultana", and the pair was soon invited to appear with the song on Rivka Michaeli's popular prime time variety show, Siba La’mesiba (“Reason to party”).

Following a record deal with IMP, Nissim produced two albums for Dana International: her 1993 debut and Umpatampa (1994).

He produced the winning entry of the Eurovision Song Contest 1998, "Diva", by Dana International.

Besides his work with Dana International, Nissim has often collaborated with Maya Simantov on songs such as "For your Love", "Everybody Needs a Man", "Alone", and "First Time", and has produced official remixes for various artists, including Madonna and Cher.

Offer Nissim was born in Israel, to parents of Iraqi-Jewish descent.

He displayed a keen interest in music from a young age.

In 1998, Dana International represented Israel at the 43rd Eurovision Song Contest with "Diva", a song written by Svika Pick and produced by Nissim.

The song won the contest bringing the country its coveted third victory and Offer Nissim further recognition.

However, soon after the victory, Nissim and Dana International went their separate ways as a result of artistic differences.

Already an established DJ on the local gay scene, Nissim decided give up producing and become a full time DJ.

In the 2000s, Nissim collaborated with Israeli singer Maya Simantov and Grammy-winning Austrian-American DJ Peter Rauhofer.

Nissim has produced several official remixes for Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Christina Aguilera, Cher, Mylène Farmer, Deborah Cox, Dana International, Kristine W and other dance pop acts.
