They say music is what feelings sound like, and that is a huge part of how I approach music production. You know that feeling, when all of a sudden you get goosebumps from a song? That's what I love most and what motivates me. I want to create moments like that. Moments that put a huge smile on your face, create a feeling of real joy and reaffirm your appreciation of music, dance and life!

I was born and raised in a small city in the South of Israel. When I reached adulthood, I moved up to the proverbial "big city" of Tel Aviv, which arguably has one of the world's most vibrant music scenes. I get inspired everyday by its soundtracks and use that inspiration in my music production, whether an original production or a new version of an existing song that I love.

As much as I'd prefer to not label my music, you could call it vocal/house/techno - either way, I hope you experience those goosebumps, that would make me the happiest :) Enjoy!
