Oz Noy
Born: Tel Aviv, Israel
April 25, 1972
Genre Style: Fusion
Oz Noy is an incredibly smooth Israeli-American guitarist who has spent the last few decades rewriting the rules on how jazz, funk, rock, and blues can play together. He started picking up the guitar back in Israel when he was just 10 years old, and he was so naturally good at it that he was playing professional studio sessions by 13. After becoming the go-to session guy for big records and TV shows back home, he packed his bags for New York City in 1996 to see what else he could do. Since then, he’s made a massive splash in the NYC scene, winning people over with a vibe that's all about deep, infectious grooves and wild sonic experimentation.When he isn’t tracking or touring with massive icons like Sting, Cyndi Lauper, or drum legend Dave Weckl, he’s busy releasing his own killer records. Albums like Fuzzy, Schizophrenic, and his latest drop, Recreational Substance, show off exactly why Guitar Player magazine keeps throwing awards at him for being one of the most unique players out there. Fans absolutely love him for his insane pedalboard setups and his ability to make complex jazz improvisation feel like a house party. Between gigs, he hangs out in the studio or teaches online, breaking down his signature tricks for the next wave of guitar geeks.👈 Check the sidebar
