Ive been musical since my mom went to see Fiddler On The Roof on Broadway with me in her belly, and I began kicking furiously whenever a musical number came on. My maternal grandfather was a cantor and my fathers family is/was Hasidic, so I have the music and the storytelling thing in my genes. In other words, I had no choice but to become a singer-songwriter. So, once I got that out of the way, I took my favorite things, like life, liberty, spirituality, and my various life experiences, into my own idiosyncratic brand of keyboard-based, lyric-intensive rock. When playing solo, I use the piano as accompaniment to my vocals, the same way singer-songwriter-guitarists would use their guitars; when in a band, I prefer to surround myself with crunchy guitars and a tight rhythm section. However, watch out before you decide to lump me into the same stylistic category as other, better-known singer-songwriter-keyboard players, solo or otherwise. Billy, Elton, and Ben F. are all cool, but they do their thing while I do mine. Anyway, I was born in NYC 40+ years ago and since then, Ive lived in many different places including New Jersey, Israel, Long Island, Boston, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. Ive played in all sorts of bands, including rock, blues, r&b, reggae, 1970s-era disco, cover/tribute acts, and my own original "soul-punk-rock-r&b" thing, in the New York-New Jersey-Philly corridor and in Israel. I just returned to my beloved Jersey Shore after a 2.5-year sojourn in Los Angeles, where I made some great friends, hung out with all sorts of funky musicians and other characters, worked on the mixing and mastering of my latest CD recording project, and succeeded in getting one of my songs placed in an upcoming motion picture. But it's great to be home, and I'm currently in the process of lining up some new gigs and preparing my CD for release. Stay tuned and watch my blog for updates. contact: The Hesh Inc.
