Anna Zak

Early and personal life Anna Kuzenkova was born in Sochi, Russia, to Natalia and Denis Kuzenkov. Her father is Jewish, whereas her mother is an ethnic Russian. The family settled in Ashdod, a southern Israeli city on the Mediterranean coast, where she then learned to speak Hebrew. Her parents later separated and her father returned to Russia, working on the Sochi Olympics.

She attended the Mekif Het High School in Ashdod, Israel. She selected her surname, Zak, as a stage name while in high school.

In March 2020, she was inducted into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for her compulsory military service. She had been in a relationship with Israeli singer Roee Sendler since 2019. They broke up at the end of January 2023.

In December 2023, she began a relationship with Israeli singer and actor Yehonatan "Jonathan" Mergui.

Career She began her career in 2014 on the Israeli children's reality show The Boys And The Girls. In 2016 she was chosen to be the face of Scoop Shoes, earning a NIS₪50,000 contract at the age of 15 (approximately $14,000US as of 2023, and a large sum for a child). She was also selected as the face of a global campaign for the hair removal brand Veet. Although earning a large income at a young age was controversial, she told Israel Channel 2 that her family supported her career.

In 2017 she became the host of Music 24's show "To Be a Singer." She also collaborated with the model Neta Alchimister on social media. That same year she was named "the most influential person on Israeli Instagram," by the Israeli Internet Association.

On 1 July 2026, she performed a duet with 2018 Eurovision winner Netta Barzilai at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Maccabiah Games.

Now United In 2017, she successfully auditioned for Idols creator Simon Fuller's project Now United. She joined an international band with other members representing China, India, Russia, Japan, the UK, the US, the Philippines, South Korea, Finland, and Germany. She soon announced that she would head the project, rather than just be one of the singers, which meant regular flights from Israel to Los Angeles while still in school.
