In 2010 Tuna formed a band called Tunaman Jones with his friend Nir Danan. 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 saw praise.[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" and "Seharhoret" which saw success in the Israeli weekly and annual charts.[5]

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