Oren Yoel has always been talented.  No question.  It’s obvious when you hear his music.  He’s been perfecting his craft since he was 11 and his style spans a remarkable variety of genres.  He studied music theory and performance at USC but Oren is also a master of pretty much any music software and hardware you can name.  Oren’s performed all over LA- House of Blues, Viper Room, Knitting Factory, The Key Club, and many more.  His shows have always been events that his fans and friends never want to miss, whether it’s with his electro-rock group New Kingdom, or back in the day playing keys for friends Tunji of Inverse and TiRon.  Even if it’s just spinning records with his knowledgeable DJ/childhood friend Jordy J, there’s always something unique and great about the music Yoel is playing.  And Yoel is very prolific.  He has an impressive catalog of quality instrumentals reaching across a number of genres from hip hop, r&b, and neo-soul to electronic, rock, funk and even classical and cinematic music (listen to the track “Classic” below).  He is a forward thinking producer and even though Oren is more than capable of recreating already proven, successful styles, his real strength is his ability to create music that contributes something new and different to the bigger picture.

After producing 9 of the 12 tracks for Asher Roth‘s highly anticipated upcoming debut album, Asleep In The Bread Aisle, Oren Yoel is now poised to have his name launched into an enormous audience and rapidly changing landscape of artists and producers.  His group New Kingdom is featured along side Busta Rhymes on “Lion’s Roar” (and this is an unbelievable track) on Asleep In The Bread Aisle.  Co-producing 3 of the tracks with Yoel is his long time friend and Appropriate Associates collaborator David Appleton, who Oren might introduce to you as “Snuff”.  With all the music out there these days, content is king and with Oren Yoel the music really speaks for itself.
