The first thing you notice about Shai T is his quiet confidence. There’s a calm, almost melancholic, manner to the way he speaks, each of his pauses reflecting on the multiple decades of wisdom and experience that he has in music. From teaching himself to play the guitar and piano as a child, Shai T would eventually grow up to be one of the middle east’s most celebrated burgeoning talent in dance music. Since then, appearances on All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Lost Miracle and TRYBESof have all catapulted Shai T to the attention of the underground music fraternity with an immaculate blend of intricate rhythms, flowing melodic lines and organic sounds. With his beginnings in his hometown of Tel Aviv, where he still bases himself today, Shai T’s journey has been one of refining and honouring your instincts, even if they act against the trends of the time.
