The Young Professionals (also known as TYP or T¥P) is an Israeli electro pop band made up of producer Johnny Goldstein and singer/songwriter/producer Ivri Lider. The band mixes electronic sounds, guitars and acoustic percussion to create music described as alternative pop.

TYP’s debut effort, “09:00 to 17:00, 17:00 to Whenever,” was released in Israel in 2011. Each song on the album represents a different hour of the day, from working at the office during business hours to partying at the club at night.

In January 2012, TYP signed a three-record deal with Polydor Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. “09:00 to 17:00, 17:00 to Whenever” was released in France in June 2012 and North America in July 2012, with the amended title “9am to 5pm, 5pm to Whenever” in line with the 12-hour clock. The 2012 release consists of a slightly different track listing from its precursor, including a cover version of Lana Del Rey’s 2011 single “Video Games”.
