Introduction –

My name is Liam and I'm a 23 year old South African – Israeli
Singer / Songwriter. I was born in Israel but spent the first years of my life living In South-Africa.
My family moved back to Israel in the early 1990's and I've been living here ever since.
"L.I.A.M" in Hebrew is an acronym for the words "they shall study war no more".
I've been singing and playing the guitar since I was 13 and started writing songs at about the same age.
At the age of 19 I enlisted and began serving my 3 year mandatory service in the Israeli army.
A period full of war, violence and confusion but most of all and most importantly a period of soul searching, self growth and inspiration.

The making of "Liam" –

During my army service I was introduced to a couple of producers – Avi Levin and Raz burg.
When I finished my army service I called them up and we got to work.
The hardest part of the recording was choosing the songs – Finally I chose 8 songs which I felt that when compiled together tell the story of my army service.
I did not have a lot of money so it’s a very low budget project.

My early influences are mainly from jazz and rock – Herbie hancock , Wes montgomery , Art Blakey , Led zeppelin , Bob Dylan to name just a few.
Current influences – Radiohead , Jeff Buckley, Alice in chains ,Red house painters and Damien Rice, Once again naming just a few .
