Singer and Songwriter David Broza has haunted bookstores and libraries, searching for material that evokes images not just for our time - but for all time.

Audiences have responded to his quest, making him a superstar in his homeland of Israel (where one in three families own at least one David Broza recording). Broza has become a multi-cultural troubadour whose music transcends all national and artistic boundaries. With 19 albums to his name, many of which became gold, platinum and multi-platinum, his popularity achieved new heights with the enormous success of his quadruple platinum album "Ha Isha Sh' Iti" ("The Woman By My Side.")

The son of an Israeli/British businessman and a folk-singer, he was born in Haifa, Israel (where his grandfather founded an Arab-Israeli settlement), and was raised and educated in England and Spain. Drafted into a three year term in the Israeli military, then stationed away from his family and friends, he began playing guitar in cafes to earn extra money. He recorded a tape to promote his live shows, and "Somehow , one of the songs became a #1 hit in Israel," he explains.

Broza is a captivating, compelling performer whose mastery of the guitar is evident in the fiery flourishes which add depth and emotion to songs already brimming with poetic imagery. His unique style, a cross-cultural blend sung in the poetic rhythms of three languages, makes him an artist whose music truly knows no borders.
