YONATAN GAT left his native Israel after his band Monotonix (called "the most exciting live band in rock 'n' roll" by SPIN) got banned from virtually every venue in their home country setting Gat on a path to a life as an international touring and recording artist, playing over 1,500 concerts in 50 countries and 5 continents in the last decade and a half. These years of travel made an undeniable mark on Gat as he later embarked on a distinguished solo career as guitarist and producer collaborating with musicians from varying backgrounds, leading Rolling Stone editor David Fricke to refer to him as "a citizen of the world," adding "Gat wields his guitar like a universal translator.” His solo work was profiled by The New York Times, UNCUT, Pitchfork, NPR, Vice, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, The Wire and People Magazine. The Village Voice named him "Best Guitarist in New York, 2013," while The Guardian listed his sophomore solo album Universalists on their top 10 contemporary albums of 2018.
