Uri composes and listens from his heart.I'm looking for people who enjoy music like I do (which is a lot !!!), write lyrics, who are extremely commercial with their lyrics, open minded, nice, talented, fresh and original. If we connect, I promise you not less than magic. Just try me and see what I'm all about. I work with live instrument players, I record very impressive hit masters, radio ready, Tv ready, Film ready, and sooo comercial and catchy.
