Biography
The freedom to compose and create a dynamic body of work is afforded to a special few artists of each generation, musicians who deftly coordinate the chemistry of exceptional talent and exceptional opportunity. Itaal Shur is one of these rare and free musical craftsmen, with a career that includes top-shelf status as a songwriter, producer, and a Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the multi-Platinum hit “Smooth,”, recorded by Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas.
Having experienced great success in the commercial music industry and the diverse array of opportunities that comes along with it, Shur has marked his career with the same innate eclecticism that marks his person. He is never just one thing. He fills several roles, in several styles and genres, and in this way his music is defined not by what he does, but who he is.
A left field guy who hits a home run in right field every once in a while, Shur found his music lust while growing up in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Cincinnati in a family where artistry was the norm and a desire to be a doctor or lawyer was black sheep territory. His composer father and choreographer mother set him to work learning classical piano, but it was his brother teaching him to play blues piano at age 10 that cast the dye. “My brother would play on the left side of the keyboard and I would play on the right, and I learned how to just jam with someone and relate to them musically.
