Bryan and Yonatan met when Bryan first moved to Los Angeles through mutual friend Emile Kelman. Emile had begun producing and asked Yonatan to play on Bryan’s demos. After meeting, the two became fast friends and immediate collaborators. When it came time to record his first record Bryan approached Yonatan about producing the song “Neverland;” he wanted a unique sound and approach to a song that had it’s feet firmly planted in pop while embodying the sound and feeling of jazz. According to Bryan, “Neverland” is “one of the best songs on the album!” With the momentum of their work together and their friendship, Yonatan joined Bryan on tour. Yonatan’s ability to play multiple instruments gave Bryan an opportunity to have many different colors and textures in his show. He says, “I have played solo before, but after performing with Yonatan, I don’t wanna play alone anymore.” Their chemistry on and off the stage is tremendously infectious, and their experiences together prove to strengthen their relationship. On stage it’s a powerhouse of music, emotion and vibe, with the two of them putting on a stellar show every night. One of the greatest assets that Yonatan brings to the table in any situation is a focused and intense energy. Bryan says, “Yonatan has such a great stage presence, after shows people will often say to me, ‘you were great, but your bass player is amazing!”
