After an eight-year freelance career (KEXP, Pop Matters, WQXR), Dor Heled delivers his personal artistic statement with debut album “Things Change” (first single now on Spotify editorial playlist)

Dor Heled’s emergence as an independent artist did not follow a clear-cut path. Born and raised in Israel, he began to follow his life long dream of music after completing his five year military service. Upon his graduation from New York’s The New School for Jazz, he quickly established himself as a prominent sideman, backing such acts as Gili Yalo (feat. on KEXP) and Anbessa Orchestra (feat. on Pop Matters and WQXR Soundcheck). While working as a freelance musician in New York over the past eight years, his own personal perspective began to stir and take shape, until the arrival of his debut album, aptly named “Things Change”. A deeply personal statement, the album’s seven tracks present gleaned insights and spiritual messages alongside analog synthesizers and vocal harmonies, and its debut single - “Too Late” - produced by Itamar - is currently featured on Spotify’s editorial playlist - New from NYC: Indie. “Things Change” is now out on all streaming platforms - follow Dor on InstaGram, Spotify and YouTube for more music, updates and live show announcements.
