Biography

Ronen Kohavi (Rō•nen Kō•hah•vē) discovered the guitar when he was 12, and from that moment he knew he was going to be a musician. At the age of 14 he formed his first band and, by the time he was 16, Ronen had left home for the road. He has been on stages ever since.

In 1997 Ronen, together with some old friends, founded Mercedes Band. They signed to the Israeli label, Anana, and began touring the country. As the band began to pick up momentum, Ronen began to find his vision as an arranger and producer. He produced albums for Israeli bands like 951, Yoav and the Moontrees and Eli Cohen. He also became sought after for his guitar playing – both live and in studio sessions – and played with many top Israeli acts.

In 2004, Mercedes Band’s self titled debut album, an album that featured much of Ronen’s signature style and arrangements, was released. Selling in the thousands, this was proof to Ronen that his music has an audience – and that his decision to leave home for the life of a musician was not made in vain.

In 2006, he left Mercedes Band for England where he toured with his newly-formed power rock trio, Rooster. While there, the love-stricken Ronen began writing his first solo project that would become Brixton Bootleg. Six months later, back in Israel, Ronen recruited some old friends, who happened to also be veterans of the local Israeli scene, Sagi “Shaggy” Azulay on bass, Oren Dai on drums and Oren Menashe on piano.

    I just came back from your concert. It was realy great and your cover (with Geva Alon) for Neil Young's Ohio was electrifying. You probably gonna see your "plays" counter going up now that I have your album. I'm gonna spread the news about you and your music. Good luck !
