Also a writer, arranger, orchestrator, instrumentalist (guitars, piano / keyboards / sampler, bass, oud, accordion, harmonica, percussion), vocalist and sound technician, performing with some of Israel's top names over the past few years.
My experience includes TV and Radio appearances, studio operation and session playing, composing soundtracks for various commercials, stage plays, computer games, modern dance performances, etc...
I own and operate a computer based post-production studio, and my music ranges from Orchestral / Choral to Jazz and Contemporary / World music of all sorts.
