Yaron Herman was born on July 12th, 1981, in Tel Aviv, Israel. At 19, Yaron left for Boston where he planned to enrol at the Berklee College School of Music. He found it didn't satisfy his craving for knowledge and discovery and decided to return. On the way back to Tel Aviv he stopped over in Paris. That evening he met some musicians during a jam session and was given a contract the very next day. Soon he made a name for himself on the Parisian musical scene. He never left Paris from then on. His enthusiasm and talent, surprising in someone so young, meant that he quickly became the pianist that everyone was talking about with admiration and stupefaction.
Yaron Herman’s recording career started at the age of 21 with “Takes 2 to know 1”. In October 2005 he recorded his first piano solo album “Variations”. The album received particularly good reviews and Yaron Herman started to give his first solo performances in Europe, South America, the United States and China where he was the first Jazz pianist to play in the Forbidden City in Beijing. After more than a hundred solo concerts around the world, in 2007 Yaron Herman recorded his first trio album “A Time for Everything” along with Matt Brewer and Gerald Cleaver - a subtle blend of jazz, pop and his own personal compositions. The album received critical acclaim and was awarded “album of the year” by the French jazz magazines Jazzman and Jazz Magazine. In 2008, the trio toured Europe, the United States and Brazil with impressive results. At the same time Yaron Herman was working in collaboration with Michel Portal, Bertrand Chamayou, Lars Danielsson, Yael Naim and others, such as Dominic Miller, Sting's guitarist. Yaron Herman’s trio returned to the recording studio after having done numerous concerts together. This time they have invited a string quartet to play on their album “Muse”, which was released in March 2009.
Yaron Herman’s impressive and extensive schedule of concerts across the world, his popularity with younger audiences and his dazzling career to date confirm that he is an exceptional phenomenon, unique in the history of piano playing. Until today he won several awards, such as “Adami Jazz Talent” (2007), and “Victoires du Jazz” for best new instrumentalist of the year (2009).
In November 2009 Yaron Herman signed a worldwide exclusive contract with ACT. His debut on the new record label is expected to be released in fall 2010.
