ABOUT
Nadav Schneerson
Nadav Schneerson is a drummer, composer and producer based in London. An alumnus of the prestigious jazz programme Tomorrow’s Warriors, Nadav has come up alongside some of the finest jazz talent in London, whilst heavily influenced by previous generations of the program - Nadav individually blends contemporary jazz styles with various influences from around the Middle East.
Nadav approaches all of his compositions straight from the piano. Predominantly self taught, It’s evident his compositions are a burst of youthful creativity and instinctive melodies. Led by his ears, the album explores a range of avenues and textures, blending acoustic sounds with live electronics - bridging old and new worlds, to modal sounds from around the world. His deep appreciation and respect for Jazz and his spiritual Jewish heritage plays a vital role in the intention of his music. “My goal with my creations are to reach someone in some capacity, whatever that feeling is, my goal is to make someone feel something, think about someone, somewhere, or even inspire new art. The purpose is to heal, educate, bring together. I feel an intense purpose of bringing people together through music, and that’s all I can hope for.”
