About

Itay Dayan is a multi-disciplinary musician, clarinetist, and singer-songwriter who has established himself as a prominent figure in the global Klezmer and Jewish music scene, and is now carving a path as an independent artist.

As a clarinetist, Itay maintains an extensive international career performing with two leading ensembles in the field: the Israel Klezmer Orchestra and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. He performs regularly on stages across Israel, Europe, and the United States. He earned his musical education at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and the New England Conservatory in Boston.

Since 2025, Itay has shifted his focus toward his solo career, releasing a series of successful singles. These include "The Champ" and "In Twos," which garnered tens of thousands of streams.

Currently, Itay is working on his upcoming album, Only Questions for Now (Rak She'elot Beintayim). The album is set for release later this year.

Itay’s artistic development and career have been generously supported by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, the Ronen Foundation, the Sidai Prize for Musical Creativity and the Zvi and Ofra Meitar Family Fund.
