Daklon is an Israeli singer. He was born in Tel Aviv's Kerem Hateimanim neighborhood, the son of Jewish immigrants from the Shar'ab region in Yemen.
Daklon explains the source of his nickname: "In those days everyone in the Kerem had a nickname. Your given name was a form of identification. As a kid I was quite short and skinny, and so, they called me Daklon." He started his musical career as an 11-year-old when his teacher sent him to do a piece for a religious music radio show.
