My story begins in Eilat, Israel, growing up drumming and studying music. Once I discovered the depth of music's production process - I dived into a world of engineering, production and sound. Over the last 15 years I was lucky to Record / Mix / Master and collaborate with some great artists. You can find some of them here below.
