Bio
YUZ (Uriah Witztum) is a guitarist, producer and composer from Jerusalem, Israel. Growing up on the border between East & West, YUZ's music brings that tension into colour with his vivid and modern Arabic-Hebrew Psychedelic guitar.
In December 2022 YUZ released his debut album, "Mono Moon," to an enthusiastic audience. The album quickly gained a massive following on streaming services and social media platforms, particularly in Turkey, South America, and the Balkans. Listeners around the world were drawn to the album's unique fusion of Middle Eastern, Balkan, and psychedelic music, earning it praise from respected international music blogs like "Hakatze" and "Columna musical." In addition, the album's tracks were prominently featured on international playlists on Spotify and Apple Music, as well as on TV and special music compilations such as the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation's "Madrase" show and the British label Batov Records' double vinyl "Middle Eastern Grooves."
On October 2023, YUZ will release his second album

Columna Musical
Uriah's song [Galgalit] is an example of psychedelic songs with the textures & colorful soundscapes that we like [...] the almost five-minute track echoes seventies Turkish music with a great keyboard performance. “Galgalit” has a meandering melody that leads us right into the sand dunes and the experience could not be more hypnotic
Hakatze
In YUZ's instrumental debut album, Mono Moon, you will find 8 tunes of Mediterranean psychedelia, groove, guitars, and dreamy and colorful synths. YUZ, a musician, producer and composer who has been working with well-known names in the industry in recent years, let his fingers go, and they led to sweeping pieces that draw inspiration from old Mediterranean analogue music, westerns and more. Sometimes it is slow and dynamic, surreal and mesmerizing, sometimes it is fast and rhythmic, but all along it remains fascinating.
