Yotam Ishay

Born: 1990

Grammy-nominated composer, pianist, bandleader, and educator whose work moves fluidly between jazz, classical, and global traditions. Born in Israel and based in Brooklyn, his music is shaped by impressionistic harmony, Mediterranean rhythm, and deep improvisational practice.

His composition "Reminiscing" from debut album Opus 1 was featured in Netflix productions, and his solo piano album SEED received international acclaim from Japan's JAZZ LIFE and France's Djolo. His latest release, Singing of the Herbs(2025), continues his exploration of melody, texture, and cross-cultural musical dialogue. He has been recognized as a three-time finalist in the International Antonín Dvořák Composition Competition and received a Grammy nomination for his work with the Berklee Indian Ensemble on Shuruaat.
