Genre: Indie, Folk

Fresh from selling out shows in his hometown of Berlin and sharing stages with acts like Black Sea Dahu and Steph Strings, all signs point to a meteoric rise for singer/songwriter Tal Arditi in 2025. A musical prodigy who completed his jazz studies at just 18, Tal swiftly made a name for himself on European stages, captivating festival-goers and club audiences alike.

His music is a masterful blend of folk, acoustic, indie, world, and electronic elements, drawing inspiration from artists such as James Blake, Patrick Watson, Beck, and Nick Drake, and earning comparisons to icons like José González and Woodkid. Tal’s unique voice infuses his melodies with deep emotion, shaped by his fears, passions, and hopes. His stripped, evocative lyrics candidly explore personal struggles, obsessions, and dreams.

Arriving in Berlin after graduating from jazz school, Tal quickly turned heads in the European jazz scene, securing performances in renowned clubs and festivals. When the pandemic hit, 21-year-old Tal found himself without a stage. Undeterred, he turned inward and wrote confessional music, spending two weeks locked in his room and emerging with a completely new sound. His early work was soon signed to the Swiss indie label Mouthwatering Records. The lead single from his EP, You and I, was highlighted by Spotify’s New Music Friday playlists in Germany and Switzerland.

In his live performances, Tal uses looping techniques to layer his voice and guitar with electronic elements, creating immersive soundscapes that resonate deeply with audiences. Currently on tour celebrating his latest EP, Close Your Eyes, released via Mouthwatering Records, Tal continues to evolve, with new music slated for 2024 and 2025 as he works on his upcoming album.
