PINI GURFIL

I'm an independent singer-songwriter. I compose soft rock, acoustic rock, prog rock, art rock and pop-jazz music. My music is dynamic, melodic and melancholic, emphasizing instrumental solos. Lyrics are introspective and reflective. I write about solitude, faith, relationships and struggle. My musical style fuses influences from classical music, goth, and progressive rock.

BIO

I am a composer, songwriter and musician, playing piano, keyboards and the accordion. I write lyrics in English and in Hebrew.

I started my artistic career by writing Hebrew poetry, and published two award-winning poetry books in 2015 and 2016. I started writing music in 2014, initially for other artists, with a debut album titled "darkonlight" released in 2018. In 2019 I attended classes at Rimon School of Music, working with Israeli rock legend Hemi Rudner, and started recording my music as a performer in 2021 with producer Tom Godstein. My second album and first as a singer is titled "Just Below My Cover". Five singles off this album have been released: "Fade Away", "Reborn", "Anny", "PTSD, Mon Cheri" and "Call It Art". The full album was released in December 2022. My new album is titled "Read the Lyrics", to be released in 2024. In May 2024, the first single from this album, "Emily Honeybee", reached a top-3 position in Israel's Rock Chart (Ze Rock Radio). I'm a member of the Society of Authors, Composers and Music Publishers in Israel (ACUM).

My music has been aired on numerous radio stations in Israel and abroad, as well as on the Israeli music channels Music IL and Channel 24.
