We are a musical family of nine from Israel. In 2008 we relocated to the Hawaiian Island of Kauai where we fell in love with the mountains, beaches, waterfalls, surfboards, farmers markets, rainbows and the peaceful ‘Spirit of Aloha’. 
 
We sat around nightly campfires with new friends and the kids all learned to play instruments and sing in harmony. We formed a family band called HAVAIIA, a Hebrew word that means 'Connecting Heaven and Earth' and began gigging and recording. We self produced an album and music videos that have been played on 33 different TV stations and enjoyed by many millions worldwide.

The kids are all grown up now and family bands don't last forever, but some of us are still making music and we plan to one day share our fascinating true life story as a musical movie!

A quest for deeper meaning lead me from Chicago to Israel as a teenager.  At 25, I befriended a singer-songwriter rabbi character with a loooooong beard and a twinkle in his eye. David introduced me to the mystical Jewish philosophy that God alone did, does, and will do everything that ever has been, is being, or ever will be done. 

David encouraged me to “invest” quality time alone in nature to search my soul, and gifted me with a few guitar lessons, an empty notebook, a pen, and a bag of magic mushrooms… I eventually became a popular Israeli recording artist. My wife and I produced a duet album of Hebrew love songs that topped Israel's pop sales charts. 

In 2008 we relocated to the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, where our seven talented children joined the fun. We formed a family band called 'HAVAIIA' and enjoyed a pretty damn good run. We have been through heaven and hell along the broken road, and have a unique true life musical love story that needs to be told...

I have been extremely blessed to work with incredible musicians, producers and sound engineers from around the globe. Together we have created fusions of rock, pop, folk, reggae, country, world, electronic, psychedelic, and Hassidic music that has topped the pop sales charts in Israel. 

I am currently at work on a movie set in Israel and Hawaii, to share our family of nine's awesome true life musical love story. https://havaiia.wixsite.com/havaiia

I'm a double bassist and amateur classical composer. A lot of people have asked me to hear some of what I wrote, so I've uploaded what I have, and will continue to so so into the future. Please enjoy!
