Israel Heller

Music – Brisbane

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I play the violin to tell stories of the dreams I dream during the days and nights. I am classically trained and now perform in a variety of genres including rock, pop, and electronica. I have performed throughout Los Angeles in a variety of venues such as The Acoustic Room at The Viper Room, On The Rox above The Roxy, and Three Clubs. I have had the opportunity to participate in music festivals from Alaska to the Czech Republic and to have played as a member of the American Youth Symphony in Carnegie Hall. Director Austin Saya has recently completed a film based on my piece, \"Starship,\" also based on my original short story of the same name. Its first screening will be May 23 at 8 PM at The Landmark/Westside Pavilion in West Los Angeles.
