Haim Saban

At the age of 12 he came to Israel with his family, where he grew up in humble circumstances. After school, his musical inclinations led him to initially seek his fortune as a bass guitarist, although Saban soon discovered his business skills. At the age of 22, he was already working as a band manager and concert promoter in Israel. When his first company bankruptcy, due to the "Yom Kippur" war, caused him to emigrate to France in 1973, Saban founded his own music studio in Paris, which successfully tried to produce soundtracks for comics and TV series. Saban achieved his first international fame through producing the film music for the TV series "Dallas", which was also broadcast in Europe. In 1980, Saban moved to the USA to found the company "Saban Entertainment" in Los Angeles, which achieved world-class status in the TV, cinema and music production markets in the following two decades. The media company was able to establish itself particularly in the area of Japanese comic films.
