Untitled Group are proud to present Israeli singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Dennis Lloyd, who will be playing his debut Australian shows this May in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
Having amassed over 750 million streams, his breakout hit “Nevermind” is a global phenomenon. It is also platinum in seven countries, double in Australia and reached #3 on the alternative radio charts in the US, while attaining Australian radio presence especially on Triple J.
The tour is anchored by the brand new single released today, “Never Go Back”, which is the story of “Nevermind” continued, about the same woman.
“I wrote it after we broke up during a really lonely time,” says Dennis. “If I don’t feel anything, I don’t write music. But I wrote and recorded this in 45 minutes. The song is a dialogue between her and I. It’s part of a group of four songs that tells the whole story.”
Dennis enjoyed a very interesting 2018 selling out his first headline tour across North America & Europe and first TV performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. With a sound that transcends culture and genre with music that innately resonates worldwide, Dennis Lloyd is set to make his mark this year, with 2019 bringing brand new music and new live dates. In May, come catch Dennis Lloyd makes his Australian debut!

DENNIS LLOYD:
After self-releasing the record in 2016, “Nevermind” began gaining traction on Spotify eventually peaking at #10 on the Global Viral Charts. At first, Dennis was not even aware of the song’s rising success as Spotify was not yet available in Israel at the time. But as emails began flooding in from records labels around the world, Dennis quickly realized the song was taking on a life of its own. Dennis hit the road on his first international sold out tour, 16 markets in Europe and North America. By this time, “Nevermind” had landed on Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits playlist amongst superstars such as Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande, Post Malone and the like, reaching #1 on three separate occasions and staying on the playlist for 185 days – one of the longest stints in Spotify history.
The success grew organically from the song’s almost mysterious versatility. From its melody to lyrical composition, it crosses all genres and employs a sense of emotional complexity in themidst of relatable simplicity. Dennis’ musical background and raw human experience accounts for such sonic rarity. He learned to play the trumpet at age 8 and the classical guitar at age 13. While on a family trip to the US in his early teens, Dennis recalls buying his first microphone that he quickly put to use writing and recording original music from his bedroom. For high school, Dennis attended Thelma Yellin Art School where he studied jazz, honing his technical skills, specifically that of the trumpet.
After art school, Dennis enlisted in the army where he served for three years. After this separation from music, he was more motivated than ever to create and decided to move to Thailand in 2015 in search of a creative haven, which for Dennis is in silence. Basking in the quiet space of a single bedroom apartment in Bangkok left with no wifi and only his instruments, laptop, and a microphone, Dennis spent one year writing and recording. “The key for me was that I couldn’t listen to new music,” Dennis says. “I couldn’t listen to what was going on in the world. So I had to create what I wanted to hear.” It was during this time that Dennis composed and recorded approximately 40 songs, including “Nevermind,” written about a Colombian woman he began dating while in Bangkok.
Born ‘Nir Tibor’ in Tel Aviv, Israel, Dennis always had dreams of international influence.“I wanted a name that would translate around the world,” says Dennis. “It’s always been an aspiration of mine to be an international artist. No artist from Israel has really ever broken out.” And having released his first single in 2015, just three years later he has done just that. Without a doubt, Dennis Lloyd has and continues to become a global artist with a reach far beyond his bedroom in Tel Aviv.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
