SHIM (born Shimrit Ovadia, July 23, 1983) is an independent Israeli singer-songwriter, musician and artist which has been internationally and domestically active since 2008.
Amongst multiple shows and concerts, [1] [2] her artistic engagements include the Liverpool folk scene, performances in Israel with high involvement in regards to the Tel Aviv musical performance scene, [3] 2012 Reeperbahn festival in Germany, various other festivals and special events. A frequent participant in local media such as show and concerts coverages. [4] Her current band consists of a classical formation of lead, rhythm, bass guitars and drums with a routine presence of keyboard, accordion, harmonica and from time to time other instruments such as banjo and strings.
Shim's album debut [5] and related activities [6] gained media coverage. Notable coverage was reported by Time Out, BalconyTV, [7] Israel's popular news website Ynet, Walla!, and acclaimed Israeli radio presenter Yoav Kutner.
She has written, composed and produced all of her music. [8]
SHIM grew up to a family of four siblings in the south Tel Aviv area of Kfar Shalem. She took an almost natural penchant for Music and started performing to friends and family at a very young age. SHIM quickly began writing songs, discovered her own unique sound and participated in different projects both as a singer and guitarist/arranger.
At her teenage years, she took up a full musical array of studies in the "Neve Eliezer" musical conservatorium in Tel Aviv. These studies included participation in a guitar ensemble, musical theory studies, classical/bass/ electrical guitar classes and vocal classes.
Following a personal trip to the UK and Ireland she enrolled for a BA (Honours) music degree in LIPA [9] (Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts) a highly appreciated school of arts founded by Sir Paul McCartney which is also one of SHIM's major musical idols and a major artistic source of inspiration.
Liverpool's local musician Keith Xander participated in the recording of "SHIM" (EP). During November 2013, a viral campaign was held to promote the debut of Riverbound. [10] Israeli indie-folk artist Uzi Ramirez, Ran Nir ( Asaf Avidan & the Mojos, "LFNT") and Israeli bluegrass group "Jacks of Diamond" cooperated with SHIM to release acoustic versions to a selection of the album's songs.
Balcony's TV's urban Balcony....'The Damage Is Done', a Bob Dylan like ballad.....recently launched album.
