So I started playing drums in the age of 6, I studied from local teachers and when I was 8 I played with jazz ensembles, big bands and more. My favorite music genre from childhood was rock and I established my first garage-punk-rock band when I was 13 and in that time I was active in the school band and also in the music school. When I turned 16 I started playing double bass with local metal bands from Israel and since those days until now I play beside big bands from Israel and the world. At the age of 20 I spread my wings for touring in the world and I opened my mind to new music genres like Pop, Oriental, Electronic, Trance and many more. I played a hundreds of gigs with a wedding band. When I turned 21 I learned musical academic studies and I was an owner of a recording studio and rehearsals room.These days I'm performing, touring, recording, teaching and moving forward with my studies.
