Born in Holon, Israel, soprano Sigal Chen was exposed to music at an early age, as her father who is an accomplished musician, singer and Cantor was her first mentor. Ms. Chen received her elementary education at the Moshe Hess School. She graduated from Makif Hey High School where she was a music and theater trend-acting major, taking part in theatrical productions and frequently performing as soloist in many musical events.

In 2002 she entered the Rubin Academy of Music and Dance where she studied with Agnes Massini and earned a Bachelor of Music Degree.

In 2005 Ms. Chen was chosen to create the musically demanding role of Susanna in the world premiere of Israeli composer Aharon Harlap's Hebrew Opera, Therese Raquin, at the Israel Music Festival with the Jerusalem Academy Orchestra.

In 2007 Ms. Chen came to New York where she studied with Gerald Martin Moore, Robert Cowart, Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs and Michael Rechiutti.
