Itamar Edelman
Born in 1990 to a Hebrew family of WWII refugees, holocaust survivors, combat veterans and academics, Itamar found himself gripped by the complexity of the human condition at a young age. In his youth, music proved to be a divine presence & constant source of inspiration and creativity.
After briefly studying political science at the prestigious Ithaca College Politics Department, he moved to Boston in 2010 to attend Berklee College of Music, the world-leading institution for contemporary music. After founding his own dub outfit OSIRISFIRE (featuring members of John Brown’s Body, The Veronicas, and more), Itamar went on to gain national attention as he completed three coast-to-coast tours with the Hard Roots Movement backing singer “Mighty Mystic”, sibling of Prime Minister Andrew Holness of Jamaica.
In 2018 Itamar moved to Los Angeles to play guitar with the soul-dancehall-r&B squad Double Tiger and is heavily featured on 2020’s breakthrough album “The Journey” which features John Brown’s Body singer Elliot Martin, as well as appearances by world renowned Jamaican artist Ranking Joe, Slightly Stooid, Arise Roots, New Kingston, and the Movement.
Today, Itamar is somewhere in Los Angeles learning, teaching, creating, & generally striving to make the world a better place.
