Adam Ben Ezra

(IL/PT)

Over the last decade, Adam Ben Ezra has established himself as one of the most unique musicians on the international scene, redefining the role of the double bass with a bold and deeply musical approach. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, he started with the violin at the age of five and never stopped: guitar, piano, clarinet, flute, oud and even beatbox are now part of his sound universe - but it was when he discovered the double bass at the age of 16 that he found his true voice.

Inspired by names as diverse as Bach, Chick Corea or Sting, Ben Ezra fuses jazz, funk, Latin and Mediterranean music with a technical dexterity and expressiveness that captivates both on stage and on screen. With over twenty million views online, he's an internet star, but his talent goes far beyond digital: he's played hundreds of concerts all over the world, has shared the stage with Snarky Puppy, Pat Metheny and Richard Bona, and has been praised by publications such as the BBC, Time Magazine or The Telegraph. Jazz FM described him as an example of ‘dazzling virtuosity and breathtaking athleticism’. Proof of all this praise can be found in ‘Heavy Drops’, a brand new album released in 2025, which shows how Adam Ben Ezra continues to expand his musical language, integrating electronics into the arrangements and proving that, in the right hands, a double bass can sound like an entire orchestra.
