Early life

Mike Brant's Jewish parents were from Poland. Bronia Rosenberg, a native of the Czech Republic, was a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Fishel Brandel Brand, a Bigoraj soldier, had been a resistance fighter in World War II and was 20 years old at his wife's wedding. Following the war, his parents married and attempted to immigrate to Israel, but were refused permission. They attempted to reach Israel by sea on an Aliyah Bet ship that had been intercepted by the United Kingdom and were sent to a British internment camp for illegal Jewish immigrants trying to enter the country from Famagusta, Cyprus. Mike was born in Cyprus on February 1, 1947. The family arrived in Israel in September 1947, eight months before Israel's independence, after being included in a British quota for Jewish immigration. They started in kibbutz Gvat but then moved to Haifa, where Mike grew up. Zvi, his younger brother, was born in 1950. Mike Brant did not begin speaking until six years old. He loved to sing and aspired to be a popular musician as a boy. Some of his early musical encounters occurred at synagogue, where he was exposed to music through prayers and religious hymns. He told his family and friends that if he grew up, he'd be "a star... or a tramp!" At age 11, he joined his school's choir, becoming the first boy to do so. He did not integrate well in school and left kibbutz Gesher as a boarder, where he studied and worked in agriculture for two years before returning to his family's house in Haifa. He has worked in a variety of casual occupations, including as a guard at the Clandestine Immigration and Naval Museum. He took drama lessons at the Haifa Theater.

Musical career

Moshe Brand, a 17-year-old boy, appeared in "The Chocolates," as lead singer. The band performed at parties and cafés in Haifa and Tel Aviv before advancing to nightclubs in hotels. After being granted a medical exemption for a stomach ulcer at age 15, he was not drafted into the Israel Defense Forces for the typical three-year period of military service expected of most Israeli Jewish men. He had aspired to perform as a member of a military band. Despite knowing only Hebrew, he continued his musical career and performed in English and French. In 1965, Moshe changed his name to Mike because it seemed more international. He was discovered by Israeli impresario Yonatan Karmon at the age 19 and left The Chocolates to join Karmon's dance company. Michael Sela performed internationally with Karmon's company, appearing in performances in the United States, South Africa, and Australia. His collection included Israeli and French songs as well as some American songs, including Frank Sinatra's. He also did appearances comparing Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. He left Karmon's troupe and returned to Israel after two years. He appeared at the Tel Aviv Hilton as a solo artist and toured the world.

Brant appeared at the Baccara Club in Tehran, Iran, in May 1969. Sylvie Vartan, a young French singer on the bill, was enthralled and begged to visit Paris. Brant was born on September 9, 1969. Vartan took ten days to locate him, but Jean Renard, who had turned Johnny Hallyday into a celebrity, eventually introduced him to him. He changed his surname from Brand to Brant, and his biggest hit, "Let Me Love You," was released under Renard's direction. In January 1970, the album was a hit at the Midem music festival. In two weeks, the phrase "laisse-moi t'aimer" was selling 50,000 copies.

Brant appeared in France in a radio competition that was broadcast both in Europe and Israel. "Mais dans la lumière" was his song, which was supported by Radio Luxembourg, was "But in the Light"). He was crowned. "Qui saura" ("Who Knows"), "L'amour c'est t'est toi"), "Un grand bonheur" ("A Great Joy"), "I Love You More Than You" (written by Paul Korda/Robert Talar), "C'est ma prière" ("A Great Joy"), "My Prayer"), and "Parce que je t'aime plus moi" ("Because I Love You More Than Myself") continued toi "Disque d'Or" ("Gold Record") is his first album, and it has sold millions of copies. Brant performed a song written and performed by his buddy Mike Tchaban/Tashban. "Why do I love you?" says Brant.

Why do I need you?"

However, French radio stations would not air it because it was in English. Brant made his first and only (pre-recorded) appearance on British television in April 1971 as a guest star in Nana Mouskouri's BBC-2 series.

Brant was seriously injured in a traffic collision in February 1971, sustained serious skull fractures, and was in for a lengthy recovery period. The crash attracted national attention. He gave concerts in Israel and premiered Erev Tov (Good Evening), a memoir co-written with Nachum Heiman and some experimental work with Moshe/Michael Tchaban's melodic subject of some musical composition. Yaffa Yarkoni, an Israeli singer, was accompanied by him during his Israeli concert tour. He served for front-line Israeli troops during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
