I’m a musiciaFrom the vibrant city of Tel Aviv, Offir Benjaminov, known in the musical world as BENJA, has crafted a distinctive path in the realm of music. Born on February 2, 1991, his journey into the heart of music began early, leading him to the Thelma Yelin Arts High School in Givataim, Israel, where he immersed himself in Jazz and graduated with a full matriculation, including a 10-unit music recital in 2009.
Offir’s proficiency spans a wide range of instruments - from the piano, which he embraced at the age of nine, to the guitar (classical, electric, and acoustic) and bass guitar, which became part of his musical identity at twelve. His skills were honed under the tutelage of renowned mentors like Rafi Kadishson, Aryeh Volnitz, Miki Warshai, and Amit Golan, among others.
As a multilingual artist fluent in Hebrew and English, Offir has an edge in global musical dialogues. His expertise extends to music software like Sibelius and Logic Pro X, further enabling his creative processes in composition and production.
The inception of TATRAN, an instrumental trio founded by Offir, marked a significant chapter in his career. As a bassist, composer, and producer for TATRAN, he has released eight albums, including notable titles like “Foresee”, “No Sides”, and “Soul Ghosts”. The band’s success is not confined to studio recordings; they have captivated audiences worldwide, with performances at prestigious festivals like the Ottawa Jazz Festival in Canada, Atlanta Jazz Festival in the USA, and Oppikoppi Festival in South Africa.
In his solo venture as BENJA, Offir released his debut album “Fin A” in 2022, a bold exploration that blends his innovative music with classical and contemporary influences. The album, characterized by intimacy and a unique sensitivity, is a reflection of his 20 years in music creation. His solo work also includes four music videos that showcase his versatility and artistic vision.
Offir’s contributions extend beyond performances and recordings. He is a dedicated music teacher, sharing his knowledge of guitar and bass guitar at various schools and conservatories. His private tutoring, spanning over a decade, and his role in online teaching platforms like Skype and Zoom, reflect his commitment to nurturing the next generation of musicians.
Notably, Offir’s creativity also found its way into the world of gaming and cinema. He created original music for the official Star Wars computer game “Jedi Survivor” in collaboration with EA and Disney. This project, along with hn who specializes in… from…
