London, United Kingdom

I started my radio career in the mid-90s in Israel, presenting on stations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. After moving to London in 2003, I broadcast on various internet radio stations in the UK and USA.

In 2010, I joined Solar Radio, hosting the weekly jazz show Notes & Tones. In 2016, I moved to JazzFM, presenting Full Circle and the Performance Series until 2024.

Currently, I present Future Jazz, focusing on new and upcoming releases. My shows are eclectic, spanning the broad spectrum of jazz, and I have promoted many unknown and unsigned artists. I've interviewed notable artists like Al Jarreau, Carmen Lundy, Roy Ayres, Christian McBride, Dee Dee Bridgewater and many more. I was also the first person in the UK to interview Gregory Porter in November 2010.

I am currently the lead programmer for the Watford Jazz Junction festival, the Cambridge Jazz Festival and advisor to the Red Sea Jazz Festival, as well as sitting on the National Jazz Archives Board.
