Guy Barzily is a musician, singer/songwriter and pianist. Born in
Tel aviv, Israël, Guy moved to New York at the age of 21 and
after a year in the big apple decided to move to London and
concentrate on his music.
In London Guy has worked as a live and session musician/singer,
performing with various function bands and doing music sessions in
different studios around London. Because of his passion for musical
theatre Guy decided to try and break into the 'musicals' world of
''The West End'' of London, an effort that got him at the age of 26
to play the part of 'Issachar' and the 'Calipso' in the very
successful show 'Joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat'.
After a year performing with 'Joseph' (that included a UK tour of
the show), Guy decided to take a break from ''The West End''.
During this time Guy again got back on the live music scene of
London and started working as a solo performer, and with different
live bands as a lead singer/pianist. Around 2007 alongside his
freelance music work, Guy joined the London based theatre company
'Make Believe' where he worked as a musical director on the
professional theatre productions of the company. His work there
included musical directions for 3 productions of 'Annie' , 'Bugsy
Malone' and 'Fame'.
During that time Guy started performing in piano bars in various
countries around Europe, mainly Norway (Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen)
and Holland (Groningen, Amsterdam). A regular and favorite venue
for him was 'The great pianos' in Groningen, Holland, were he got
to play very often, and started having some regular audience that
showed interest and enthusiasm towards him and his music. It's
around that time in Holland that Guy got to see the first season of
'The Voice of Holland'. The concept, quality and popularity of the
show seemed very appealing to Guy and made him very keen in
applying for the second season of 'The voice of Holland' which
started an amazing journey for him.
