Michael Kobrin (1991), singer, songwriter, guitarist composer & producer. Discovered the guitar at the age of 13 and since then performed in over 10 countries around the world, recorded 2 studio albums as well as other singles and collaborations + the latest EP “Walls”.
Born in Ukraine and at the age of 4 moved to Israel. As a foreign kid Michael was naturally influenced by different cultures. At the age of 11 he started singing in a choir and playing the Middle Eastern Darbooka. At the age of 17 Michael was already performing on stages and winning talent competitions. At that same age he wrote his first guitar piece.
In the process of playing different genres, Michael discovered the acoustic guitar. Very soon he started exploring new percussive techniques, inspired by Roland Dyenz, Andy Mckee and John Mayer.
Through listening to rock, pop, oriental and progressive metal songs, step by step, Michael evolved into an out-of-the-ordinary songwriter who combines Eastern & Western music. In 2014 he recorded his first full studio album “Searching” produced by Yossi Sassi (Orphaned Land co-founder). Following the album, Kobrin signed with “Candyrat Records” and released his full second album “Alive” all dedicated to acoustic solo guitar music.
3rd album, EP “Walls”, was released during 2021, including singles like “Calling you now” and “Demons”.
