A master classical pianist from a young age, Shlomi Shaban's first pop albums contained cheeky lyrics, often dealing with relationships. "Who f**ks better, Arik or me? Just grade me", While "Arik", his first smash hit from 2000, saw Shaban throwing down with sexual braggadocio, songs like "Puritanical Slut" established him as pop's novel wild card. As young Shaban matured, his latter albums have featured more intricate lyrics and music. Career highlights include a chart hit cover in Hebrew of Bob Dylan's “Mama, You Been on My Mind” and unique shows with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
