Diana Golbi (Hebrew: דיאנה גולבי; born January 16, 1992)^[1] is an Israeli-Russian actress and singer, the eighth winner of Kokhav Nolad, the Israeli version of Pop Idol. Golbi is the third female participant to win the show (following Ninet Tayeb on the first season and Roni Dalumi on the seventh season).

Golbi was born as Diana Igorevna Golovanova (Russian: Диана Игоревна Голованова) in Moscow, Russia.^[1] When she turned four, her parents decided to immigrate to Israel,^[2] and resided in the city of Holon.^[1] During her childhood, Golbi "fell in love" with the stage. She studied theatre in an American studio, and when she was 12, she went to perform in a big theatre in St. Petersburg.^[1] She served as an instructor in the Teleprocessing Corps of the Israel Defense Forces.

During 2008 Golbi and her friends formed a rock band, called HaRusim (Hebrew: הרוסים). HaRusim is a double meaning: it means both "The Ruined Ones" and "The Russian Ones" in Hebrew, since the members of the band are all Russian originally.^[1]

Studied acting in the Nissan Nativ Acting Studio in Tel Aviv 2015-2018
