Yinon Yahel, an Israeli born producer, officially began his musical career when he was just 15 years old. While playing in a small rock band with his friends, "Eman" was offered a contract by Hed Artsi records and became the youngest group ever to sign a major record deal in Israel. Since then, his career has risen
to new
heights and Yinon is now working with some of the biggest names in music all over the world. His credits as a music producer include productions for Ashanti, Donnie Klang and Danity Kane in addition to collaborating alongside Puff Daddy, Seven Aurelius (J-Lo's producer), David Cabrera (Ricky Martin's producer),Jim
Beanz
(Britney Spears' producer) and Offer Nissim (27 DJ in the World according to DJ Mag 2006) - all before he even hit 30.
Shortly after the arrival of the new millennium, Yinon had become an established producer in Israel and met a talented singer, songwriter and composer, Maya Simantov also known as "Maya". They had immediate chemistry and started working together on material for an album. Yinon and Maya then teamed up with a well
known Israeli DJ, Offer Nissim and together they recorded their debut album entitled Searching. The success of the album led to immediately signing with Grammy Award Winner Peter Rauhofer and Star 69 records.
Yinon's musical artistry brought about international recognition in 2004/05 upon release of the hit album "First Time" (DJ Offer Nissim ft. Maya) courtesy of Star69 Records. The album 'First Time' received a warm debut on electronic dance charts worldwide including the internationally acclaimed Billboard
Charts. Within
a short period, three singles from the album made its way up the Billboard Club/Dance Play charts including "First Time" (top 10), "Searching" (top 20) and "That's The Way I Like It" (top 20).
By the end of 2005, beginning of 2006, Yinon had made an expansion throughout the dance community. In light of his tremendous work and dedication in the studio, Yinon was offered to be part of remix assignments for established artists such as Deborah Cox's, Kristine W., Deborah Cooper, Amuka, Suzanne Palmer and more
which
resulted in hits such as "Easy as Life" 1, Kristine W. "Wonder of it All" 1, Deborah Cooper "Love you all Over" 2, Amuka's "I Want More" topping 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts, as well as Suzanne Palmer's "Home" & "Fascinated" both reaching Top 10.
Yinon Yahel continues to work closely with Maya Simantov, gathering material for two new house and R&B albums in addition to touring the world together.
Beside Simantov, Yinon is featuring a new artist these days, Jesse Labelle, a 24 year-old Canadian rock singer with a passion for house music. Their new single, "Shine" has just come out in Tracy Young's Label, Ferosh Records.
Continuing to perform as a DJ on a global scale in Miami, Atlanta, Sao Paulo, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Tel Aviv, Paris with many more on the cities on the horizon, his performance has a very unique touch, since Yinon is one of a very few DJs around the globe who play their synthesizer and computer live during a performance.
The combination of such live performance and Yinon's
original style are what gives his performances such extraordinary sound.
