Guy Rotem is a 23 years old musician, on the verge of his big breakthrough. He writes his own songs, and accompanies his voice with percussion. I came across his music while wandering around the virtual halls of YouTube, and found it absolutely beautiful and soulful.
In a short interview to “Israelife”, he said: “I've been listening to Turkish and Persian music since I was a newborn, and it became a big influence on the music I make. In about six months I am planning on leaving Israel and moving to Istanbul, Turkey. There, I plan to learn from the best of the best in the field and return to Israel with new, interesting music.”
