Poliker was born in Kiryat Haim, a suburb of Haifa, Israel. Poliker is the son of Holocaust survivors deported to Auschwitz from Salonika, Greece.
Poliker's father, Zoko, tells the story of his escape in the 1988 film Because of That War (Biglal Hamilhamah Hahi), which features music by his son.
His music combines rock with Greek and other Mediterranean musical styles. He plays guitar, bouzouki, and bağlama and was a member of the 1980s Israeli rock band Benzeen.
In 2002 he was nominated for the Tamuz Award of Israel's Best Male Artist, along with David D'or, Arkadi Duchin, Yuval Gabay, and Shlomi Shabat, but lost out to D'Or.
