Biographie Yonatan Levy
Yonatan Levy
is an Israeli musician born to parents of German and Moroccan origin. His musical career began at age eighteen, when he was chosen to play bass with Israel’s leading singer-song writer Yudit Ravitz. Within a short time he became a sought-after session musician who recorded over a hundred records and toured with Israel’s top artists both in Israel and worldwide. The purchase of a eight-track tape machine at age twenty four marked the beginning of what he defines as “my love affair with sound”. What began as a small music studio soon turned into a thriving career as music producer of many records and award winning music.
In 2001 Jonathan joined Izabo band. Two years later the band was signed to SONY BMG, and their debut album, “Morning Hero”, was released in the United Kingdom. The same album was also released in France, Belgium and the Netherlands under the title “The Fun Makers”. A second album, “Superlight”, followed in 2009. In 2012 Izabo were signed to 100% Records, where they released their third album “Life Is On My Side”. Highly acclaimed for their unique musical style, Izabo toured all over Europe, and were chosen to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest. Jonathan Levy presently resides in New York City.
