In 2001, Nobleman returned home to Israel in order to write and produce his landmark debut record ‘How To Be Shy’. Shy invited members of the local psychedelic band, Rockfour, to record what became an overnight national success. Nobleman’s 60’s like psychedelic pop tunes captured the mood of the country and soon the album was voted “record of the year”. By word of mouth alone, the album was picked up by music critics in across the USA, with none other than Rolling Stone Magazine announcing it as ‘one of the top 10 albums of the year in 2002’. Shy joined the ranks of indie rockers The Hives and The Soundtrack of our lives as Alternative Press Magazine’s ‘Top 25 International Acts that Can Take Over America’.
