“My best friend started playing bass, and we wanted to jam together“. A natural, Ido was accepted as a student at the most prestigious music programs in the country, where he was classically trained in songwriting, guitar, oud, piano, and saz - scoring a perfect score at his final matriculation exam.

Ido Sagir’s approach to music is an innovative combination of the middle eastern style of his homeland combined with the music of the west.“I am passionate about combining the two musical worlds and creating a blend that has yet to be heard while staying true to my roots and most meaningful influences.”
In Israel, Ido celebrated a performance of middle-eastern renditions of Beatles songs using ethnic instruments - oud and saz
“I really enjoyed playing those songs in their original versions, but playing them in a way that was authentic to my own culture and upbringing was a special experience.”
Ido Sagir is passionate about performing and creating music and feels blessed to do what he is passionate about for a living and pursuing his artistic dreams in Los Angeles.
