Oshri Cohen was born in 1984 in Lod

Cohen was born and raised in Lod. His mother Yardena was a school principal and his father Nisim owned a spare parts business. The family is Jewish of Bulgarian and Sephardic descent.

As a child he acted in the TV series Ginji from 1995 and played Mowgli in the musical The Jungle Book in 1996. At 16 he moved with his family to Rishon LeZion, where he studied business administration and economics at Mekif Chet High School.

He served about six months in the Israeli Air Force filming unit as a printer and was released early. This drew criticism later in his career.
