Tal Arditi

After selling out his home turf of Berlin and touring internationally with the likes of Black Sea Dahu and Steph Strings, Tal Arditi’s star continues to rise. With invitations from Los Angeles, Sydney Festival and collaborations with the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for the singer/songwriter and prodigious guitarist.  

A musical prodigy who completed his jazz studies by the age of 18, Tal’s sound lies somewhere between José González, Nick Drake, and Tash Sultana, with vocals influenced by Patrick Watson. His stripped and bare lyrics delve into universal themes of struggle, obsession, and passion, connecting deeply with listeners. 

Arriving in Berlin fresh from jazz school, Tal quickly turned heads in the European jazz scene as a fresh, innovative guitarist, landing spots at clubs and festivals all over Europe. When the pandemic hit at the age of 21, Tal’s focus shifted inward. With no stages to play on, he spent weeks writing confessional songs, emerging with a distinctive sound that blends electronic and acoustic elements. 

Signed by Swiss indie label Mouthwatering Records, Tal has grown an impressive online following, with over 135,000 monthly listeners on Spotify eagerly tuning in to his music. His 2024 EP, “Open Heart”, featured standout tracks like “You and I,” selected for Spotify’s New Music Friday playlists in Germany and Switzerland, and “I Wanna Cry,” which earned widespread radio rotation across Europe. 

Tal’s highly anticipated EP, “Close Your Eyes”, is set for release on 7 March 2025. This EP includes the heartfelt single “The World Is Ours Tonight” and the emotionally resonant “One More Day”, further cementing his reputation for creating deeply moving music. As he writes his next album, all signs point to a meteoric trajectory for this extraordinary talent.
