Dedi began his music career providing back-up vocals on Mordechai Ben David's albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s.[1] In 1995 he performed with Ben David at two Sukkot concerts in Israel, one in Haifa that drew 3,000 participants and one at Yad Eliyahu Stadium in Tel Aviv that attracted 10,000 people.[2]

Dedi performed the songs "Hebron" and "Lo Nazuz Mipo" ("We Will Not Move From Here") on the album Hebron's Song of Songs.[3]

Dedi collaborated with composers Yossi Green, Rabbi Boruch Chait, Abie Rotenberg, and others on songs featured on his albums. The music on his albums was arranged by Moshe Laufer, Mona (Moshe) Rosenblum, Suki Berry, Yisroel Lamm (the Neginah Orchestra), and Ruvi Banet.

In 2004, Dedi appeared in concert with Yerachmiel Begun and the Miami Boys Choir for their 26th anniversary celebration, entitled "Miami and Dedi". The concert was released on CD and DVD. He also appeared on a number of all-star cast albums produced by Suki & Ding, as well as Gideon Levine.[4]
