About Me



Hawaiian-born Logan Heftel has burst into the Los Angeles music scene and is proving himself to be an artist with a refreshing sound that everyone can fall in love with.

Heftel's debut album, "If It Does" (2005), was a highly-praised mix of inventive folk-pop and musing ballads. Recorded at both Black Coffee Recording (Spokane, WA) and in his home studio, "If It Does" was called "...one of the best independent releases that I have heard," by David Rachac of howwastheshow.com.

Heftel has been working non-stop writing and performing. His new album, "One Day E.P." captures a sincere moment in a sarcastic world. It shares Heftel's humor and sentiment while exhibiting his "...gift for writing lyrics that probe the soul," (Jack McNally, co-founder of McNally Smith College of Music). The E.P. was produced by pianist Louis Durra, who accompanies Heftel on the tracks.

"Logans music is mature, finely crafted and deep beyond his years. He has a gift for writing lyrics that probe the soul. His guitar work is tasteful and inventive and his voice well suited to his ballads. One of the most talented young artists I have heard in a long time."
-Jack McNally, Co-founder of McNally Smith College of Music

"Heftel's songwriting shows the sort of wisdom that should take twice his years to acquire."
-Isamu Jordan, The Spokesman-Review

"There are few musicians that give me as much joy to listen to as Logan Heftel. His music is filled with an emotional depth and intelligence that evokes a strong curiousity in the listener to try and perceive the world from Logan's perspective. He seems to have an innate knack with creating a personal connection with his audience."
