Heather Shechter

Born October 10th, 1981, Heather Shechter found her musical direction at the age of 7 when she began playing the flute. As she grew older, trying to combine her love for dancing and music, she joined a local youth group which assured her music is her biggest passion.Learning to play the keyboards at a young age as well, she only returned to that love full time at the prestigious "Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music" in Israel, where she graduated in 2005.In the year 2003, she has joined a Hip-Hop band called "Live Audio Sound", featuring an American rapper, a full rhythm section and another lead vocalist and they performed original Hip-Hop songs as well as a few covers by Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and India Arie. The band performed at clubs in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and disbanded only when most of its members relocated to Boston,U.S.A. to attend the Berklee College of Music. During that time, she also performed as a background vocalist in several prime time Israeli television shows and in recording sessions, and had her own acoustic showcase at clubs around her town and in Tel Aviv.Heather returned to her old love of playing and writing, coming back to her Rock roots, being inspired by artists such as Chris Cornell, Skunk Anansie ,Fiona Apple and K's Choice among many other Rock artists, and backed away from the Hip-Hop scene. She then turned to her old friend and talented musician, Amit Shtriker. Together they began working on her music, and formed a band, where Amit is playing bass guitar, as well as producing the music.After she studied and applied herself to this profession, Heather is working as a vocal coach, passing her knowledge and experience to her students.
