Lenny Ben Basat is one of Israel’s most prominent musicians, composers and record producers and the owner of the LennyTunes production house, located in the old city of Jaffa, Israel.
Throughout his extremely successful international career, Lenny has developed his unique musical blend, from the traditional Maqam of Arab music and beats of Africa to the urban sounds and techniques of drum machines, analog synths and vinyl beat chopping. 
In 2019,  driven by his passion to infuse Middle Eastern rhythms, melodies and instruments with contemporary techniques, Lenny released the "The Bellydance Superstars" album, featuring the soulful music and oriental vibes of the 60s and 70s clubs of his hometown Jaffa. The LP album was created with the original instruments of the period, played through a time vortex from the future. The album is a love letter to his city. 
For the last 20 years, Lenny has created well known long play records & EPs, live shows and film scores. Among his latest works, Lenny composed and produced together with Riff Cohen the track “MIŞ MIŞ” which gained more than 181 million views on Youtube and Riff’s best seller “J'AIME”  and ”A PARIS”. Lenny produced the album “Sensitive Hours” for Avishai Cohen and together they worked on the score for the French film “LE SENS DE LA FÊTE”’  for the blockbuster directors Olivier Nakash and Eric Toledano.
