Vlad Shusterman is a Jerusalem-based producer-songwriter. Combining a world of eclectic influences with sensual vocal delivery and literary lyrics, his work fuses elements of electronica, art-pop, post-rock, nu-jazz, ambient and neoclassical music into strange, dense mini-epics of Vlad's trademark bleak elegance and delicate grandeur.
A classically trained pianist, he rose to prominence during the late 90s as the founding bass player/vocalist of the local goth rock pioneers Hesped and later, alongside the legendary Guy Rottem, beat-making half of the experimental dance duo Egotrip.
Graduating with honors from the famous Sam Spiegel Film School, Vlad scored, written and acted in a number of independent film productions and released a string of instrumental singles and remixes for local artists under the Doxa moniker. His debut album, Bury Your Room, was self-released in August 2006 to wide fan acclaim. His current side projects are: rockier, band format Secret Express; and even darker, dubstep and drone ambient influenced, Ghost Bike.
