Pini Gurfil

Pini Gurfil was described as "having this wonderful ability to bring sad emotions to life only to turn them into something good and uplifting; this is done to an extremely engaging sound that you can’t really get enough of".

Although often compared to Leonard Cohen, he is a genre-bending singer-songwriter who combines soft rock, acoustic rock, goth rock, folk, and jazz-pop. He writes songs in English and in Hebrew. He had previously published two award-winning Hebrew poetry books. His music is dynamic, melodic and melancholic, emphasizing instrumental solos while adopting cinematic elements and delicate re-harmonizations. His emotionally-intense, reflective lyrics discuss solitude, faith, relationships and struggle, with subtle and ironical subtexts.

Pini’s debut single, the rock ballad "Fade Away", has been aired numerous times on local radio stations, and reached a top-10 position in a number of music charts in Israel. His debut album as a performer, titled "Just Below My Cover", was released in 2022. His second album, "Read the Lyrics", was released in 2024. The single "Emily Honeybee" off this album reached a top-3 position in Israel's Rock Chart (Ze-Rock radio).
