Dennis Lloyd

Dennis Lloyd is a heartfelt singer and frank lyricist with a dusky hybrid sound that organically incorporates classic soul influences. The multi-instrumentalist debuted in 2015 and broke through the next year with "Nevermind," a global hit that went to number one in his native Israel and elsewhere, and went platinum in numerous territories, including the U.S. Lloyd has since topped the Israeli pop chart again with "Never Go Back" and "Alien," and released his first proper album, Some Days (2021). The single "Today, Tomorrow" arrived at the beginning of 2023. The Tel Aviv native (born Nir Tibor) debuted in 2015 with a couple singles and the EP The Breakdown, after which he spent a year based in Bangkok, Thailand, where he wrote and recorded dozens of new songs. A handful of additional singles and accompanying videos were released across 2016 and early 2017. The most successful of the bunch was "Nevermind," a ballad quickly streamed well over a million times on its way to either topping or nearly topping charts in Israel, Austria, Germany, and Norway, and becoming successful elsewhere. Although he was active as a performer, Lloyd was comparatively quiet from a recording standpoint in 2018, but he returned to the top of the Israeli pop chart in 2019 with "Never Go Back," the biggest song off Exident, his first EP for major-label Arista. In 2020, a third chart-topper arrived in the form of "Alien," the lead single from Some Days, issued the following July. Later that year, Lloyd scored another hit with "Young Right Now," his collaboration with German DJ Robin Schulz. He then kicked off 2023 with the soaring "Today, Tomorrow." ~ Andy Kellman
