Vanjee has been a recognizable force on the scene for more than two decades. He is a true global artist who plays music for the fun of it and as a way to connect with his friends and fans. His down-to-earth, humble attitude has been instrumental in not just building a fan base, but garnering long lasting relationships from around the world.

It was at an early age and in his native home of Israel that Vanjee first discovered music and his love for it. His influences came through music he grew up listening to in the home, including Middle Eastern ballads, disco and his father’s rock 'n' roll records by the Rollingstones, Joe Cocker and Jimmy Hendrix. By the age of twelve he was already spinning locally and had accumulated a prized music collection of his own. When he turned twenty one, Vanjee decided to move to New York and establish his international DJ career. 
Within the first few years in the city, he was already on the path which he still walks today, playing at iconic dance clubs like Pacha NY, Club Space and Cipriani.

He presently holds residencies at Hi Ibiza for Black Coffee Saturday’s, Wall Miami’s HouseMusic First and will be joining the Music On 2019 season at Pacha Ibiza and Luciano's Vagabundos at Amnesia. Family, friends and fans alike have even relinquished the typical dance-floors to follow him to more exotic parties like the Nevada desert for Burning Man, St Martin for the SXM Festival, Coachella in Palm Springs, and the BPM Festival in Mexico.

Vanjee is a multi-faceted persona and talent. He has the ability to draw in an intimate crowd with house music sets at hot spots like 1 Oak NYC and Lio Ibiza or blast out marathon tech-house sets at powerhouse clubs and events like Club Space , Timewarp, El Row and Music On. He has also produced many tracks on labels such as Get Physical, Stereo Productions, Saved Records, Defected Records and Be Crazy Music.

While so many artists are eager to find what works and stick with it, Vanjee avoids complacency like the plague. The variation in his musical direction, sometimes within the same weekend, defies the common "cookie-cutter” approach DJs are applying to their sets nowadays.

Vanjee plans on touring more in 2019 and expanding his reach throughout the world and connecting with new audiences, making new friends and continuing to push the envelope with the expansion of the underground electronic music movement into the mainstream.
