In 2010 Tuna formed with his friend Nir Danan the Israeli band Tunaman Jones. In 2011 their debut album was released.[1]

In 2015 he released his debut album, This Too Shall Pass (Gam Zeh Ya’avor, Hebrew: גם זה יעבור‎) which got many praises and included the single-hit and titular track "Gam Ze Yaavor".[2]

In 2017 he released his second album, TunaPark (Hebrew: טונהפארק‎) to positive reviews.[3][4] The album included the single-hits "Yud Aleph 2", "Seharhoret" and "BaSivuv" which got success in the Israeli weekly and annual charts.[5]

In 2019 he released his third album, Ve'Achshav La'Helek Ha'Intergalacti (And Now to the Intergalact Part, Hebrew: ועכשיו לחלק האינטרגלקטי‎). The title and the artwork of the album are homage for Israeli rapper Ravid Plotnik's album, Ve'Achshav La'Helek Ha'Omanuti.
