Yaakov Gruzman, better known as YASH, is a Toronto based multi-instrumentalist performer, composer, producer, and musician. Originally from Israel, YASH has been making music in some capacity since 1998; from a young age he had lyrics and melodies dancing in his mind. Drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Beck and Freddie Mercury, YASH creates unique, melodic, live experiences by incorporating organic instrumentation and profoundly inspiring lyrical content into his sets. Not satisfied just with his own projects, YASH is a hurricane of creativity behind the scenes. As a writer/mixer/producer he was nominated for Dance Recording of the Year at the 2017 Juno Awards for ‘Let You Get Away’ feat. Ashe. He has been certified Platinum with over 500,000 EP sales as the producer and writer on the song ‘Monster’ for Kpop giants Red Velvet, which went on to chart at #1 for US World Albums (Billboard) and #1 on iTunes Top Albums Charts World Wide. He has 3 certified gold records (La La Land’ , ‘Let you get away’ , ‘Tokyo Nights’), has produced and written songs for world famous acts like Tiesto and Steve Aoki, and was a long-time producer and collaborator for Shaun Frank. Looking to the future, after the release of his next album, YASH has plans to start a live stream on Twitch where he will be interacting with fans and streaming his creative process.
