Henrik Zvi "Svika" Pick (written also: Tzvika Pik, Tsvika Pick) is a pop singer and composer. He was born in Wrocław, Poland, to a family of musicians. Already at the age of 5 he studied classical music which he continued to study after his arrival to Israel, at the Conservatory of Ramat Gan and soon after began to perform (at age 15) in "tempo bands" . It is possible that the fact that his musical style and popularity emerged from the night clubs of Ramla, was the main reason for the negative criticism which even ridiculed him. In his early career LCW coverage was the only "good press" he received, and it defiantly have an important role in his "starization" and promotion. Since the end of 1970s, Pick proved time after time his extraordinary talent in composing and performing megahits which became classics. In 2011 he received The ACUM Life Achievement Award.
