I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Israel to a very artistic family. When I was 6 years old I began to take Piano lessons and later specialized in Drums and Percussion. 

​

I started my musical education at the New School extension for Jazz and Contemporary Music in Tel Aviv, Israel. After two years I got accepted with a scholarship to the Jazz Department of the New School in New York, where I earned my BFA in Jazz and Contemporary music.

​

Soon after, I was selected to perform a two-week residency at the “Bern Jazz Festival” in Switzerland.

 

In 2019 I was the First Call drummer for the off Broadway

“the Office: A Musical Parody” show.

Meanwhile, accompanying for professional dance classes as a Percussionist and Pianist in New York City's leading dance schools: The Martha Graham School, The Juilliard School, Peridance Center, Steps on Broadway, and Gibney Dance.

 

On February, 2022 I released my own album:

"Music for Modern Dancers" which includes 60 tracks of original Percussion and Piano music for the Martha Graham Technique™ and any other Dance Technique.

I hope my music will inspire many Musicians and Dancers.

 

Thank you.
