About myself:

I started playing piano in the age of 4 but when I saw Guns & Roses on MTV I was stunned by the Drums.

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 drums with local metal bands from Israel and since then 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 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.
