Gatro began his career in Israel in 2000; though "out of the closet" in his personal life, in professional life he remained closeted for several years, and sang love songs using feminine second-person pronouns, becoming a teen heart-throb.

In 2002, he left Israel to study acting in Los Angeles. Two years later, in 2006, he returned to Israel, began using masculine second-person pronouns in his love songs, and in an interview, came out of the closet publicly.

 

The music videos for Gatro's more recent songs have included provocative gay imagery. While controversial, some of these videos proved quite popular on Israel's music television channel (channel 24).
