Ofri Nehemya

Ofri Nehemya is an Israeli drummer known for his agile, nuanced playing across post-bop and modern creative jazz. Born in 1994 in Givatayim into a musical family, he began performing with leading Israeli jazz musicians while still in high school. He became a regular member of pianist Shai Maestro's group, appearing on the ECM albums The Dream Thief (2018) and Human (2021), and has worked with Avishai Cohen, Omer Avital, Gilad Hekselman, Eli Degibri, and Aaron Goldberg. Based in New York, he leads his own quartet, which he formed in 2014 and whose debut album, Time Traveler, was released in 2025.
