Henree feat. Nikka

In the summer of 2004, through a mutual friend, Henree met Nikka (a transgender singer, born in 1982), recognized her talent and took her under his wing. At the age of 18, Nikka had changed her gender from male to female. The first two mega-hits "See Me Now (Finally)" and "Naked In The Wind" made the duo one of the hottest names in the club scene worldwide, plus the hit "B'gida" (Betrayal) in Hebrew. Their debut album "Revolution" was released at the end of 2006. Since then, the duo has recorded a series of singles: "Mashehu Acher", and "Discotec", a duet with the Israeli band Ethnix featuring Nikka.
