Yuval Banay (Hebrew: יוּבַל בַּנַאי; born June 9, 1962) is an Israeli musician, best known as the lead singer of the influential Israeli rock band Mashina.
Banay served in the Artillery Corps of the Israel Defense Forces during the 1982 Lebanon War. While in the military, he met guitarist Shlomi Braha, with whom he formed a band. The two went in different directions after their military service ended, with Banay forming the band Shlom Ha-Tzibur ("Public Safety"). In 1984, he and Braha decided to form a new band, which they called Mashina. They released their debut album in 1985. Over the next decade, Mashina released several successful albums.
In May 1995 the group disbanded after a series of four farewell shows. Banay went on to release several solo albums: "Yuval Banay" (1997), "Rashi Dub" (1999) (produced by bass player Yossi Fine), and "Nish'ar BaMakom" ("Staying Put") (2001). Mashina reformed in 2003, and in 2005 they released an album entitled "Futuristic Romance" ("romantica atidanit"). In 2008, Banay released another solo album, "Me'ever Le'harim" ("Over the Mountains"), produced by alt-folk singer Allan Moon.
Banay has also worked as an actor, appearing in Yaky Yosha's Summertime Blues and in the movie Nadia in the 1980s, as well as in the TV series Chunt Lee (2002). Recently Banay has returned to TV, this time as a Mentor on the Israeli edition of The Voice.
His most recent musical project is titled "Mobius Trip", an electronic music project which consists of new songs as well as electronic remixes of existing work.
Aside from his musical career, Yuval Banay served as coach and mentor (alongside his teammate, Shlomi Braha) on television show, The Voice Israel in the second season.
