Personal life[edit source]
Golbi was born as Diana Golovanov in Moscow,[1] Russia. When she turned four, her parents decided to immigrate to Israel,[2] and moved to the city of Holon,.[1] Already in her childhood, Golbi fell in love with the stage. She studied theatre in an American studio, and when she was 12, she went to perform in a big theatre in St. Petersburg.[1]

Golbi also loves football. She played on a girl team in Petah Tikva, coached by her father, even though she did prefer performing on stage.During 2008 Golbi and her friends formed a rock band, called HaRusim (Hebrew: הרוסים). HaRusim is a double meaning: it means both "The Ruined Ones" and "The Russian Ones" in Hebrew, since the members of the band are all Russian originally.[1]

Kokhav Nolad 8[edit source]
During 2010, Golbi went to audition for the eighth season of Kokhav Nolad. She impressed the judges and was accepted. In the night of September 4, 2010, she won 53% of the votes and beat Idan Amedi, and was therefore crowned as the winner of Kokhav Nolad 8. She won a scholarship of 240,000 shekels, and a production contract from the music producer Louis Lahav.[2]
