“Hyim's Happy Birthday!” originated in a San Francisco Bay Area elementary school classroom. Hyim was invited by the Bill Graham Foundation to create a song with children who wanted a song with some hip hop, Spanish & English. Hyim rewrote the song a bit for his album.... have a listen

Hyim and his band, The Fat Foakland Orchestra, performed at the 2004 San Francisco Weekly Music Awards. Hyim's title track from his debut album, "Let Out A Little Peace," was track #3 on the SF Weekly Music Awards compilation CD.

Title track, "Let Out A Little Peace," and "Here in Babylon" are featured in the documentary film, "Bloodletting," by director Lorna Green www.lornagreen.org

“Evolution” (click above) was played during the 2-day PricewaterhouseCoopers Conference on Evolution in Hong Kong, 2007 and in the UK in November, 2005. “We think Hyim's music is fantastic!”

Hyim (Hebrew for life) named his second self-produced album after his band: Hyim and The Fat Foakland Orchestra (aka HATFFO). On the album, released in April 2005, hip-hop beats meet live string arrangements, and orchestrated horn sections compliment pulsating reggaeton piano montunos. The critics rave, the fans move, and Hyim’s label, Family Productions, has been pushing Hyim and the album through every speaker and into every ear drum it can get its musical wings into. Of significance, the band was nominated for a California Music Award in 2004 based solely on their jaw-dropping live show. The amount of buzz in the Bay Area and throughout California around this new sound suggested that HATFFO was the “take off” album for Hyim’s lifelong career.  Dubbed “the ever-evolving eclectic maestro” (The Forward, New York), Hyim, a Yamaha sponsored artist, calls his music Urban World Beat.  Born and raised on a commune in San Francisco in the late '70s, Hyim still holds the flower child's lantern for peace and unabashed positive vibrations. His b-boy dancing skills combined w/his Sting-esque voice are sweetly bound by his uncanny charm, obvious sex appeal and poetic lyricism.  Hyim has been compared to everyone from Wyclef Jean to Dave Matthews, Jamiroquai to Manu Chao, Eddie Palmieri to Peter Gabriel. Refusing to be boxed in, Hyim continues to be an independent artist, producing, DJing, performing, teaching, living, loving and evolving. 

Hyim and his band, the Fat Foakland Orchestra, bring to life Urban World Beat. Infectious grooves draw upon an international palette: Brazilian, hip hop, reggae, rock, folk, Latin, and middle eastern/Mediterranean.  Hyim has traveled the world and has blended these rhythms of the globe to form a vehicle for his poetic song writing abilities. The Hyim Trio recently toured Europe with shows in Poland, The Czech Republic and The Netherlands, and HATFFO played the 60th annual Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco to a crowd of over 6,000. The band’s percussion, heavy energy and Hyim’s ability to bring out the best in any audience has created a marriage of Urban World Beat and the dance floor (High Sierra Music Festival, Slim’s, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Sleeptrain Pavilion..).  The Fat Foakland Orchestra, features percussionists Ajayi Jackson and Pablo Soto (Omar Sosa, John Santos), guitarist Adam (Santanaito) Lasher (Carlos Santana's nephew), drummer Derek Taylor, bassist Josh Lippi and keyboardist Ben Schwier (The Park and Bucho). The band’s performance brings the audience on a soaring sonic journey that is exuberant, joyous, and addictively danceable. Eyes light up and smiles grace faces as Hyim dances out into the audience to sing face to face with the inspired fans. www.myspace.com/hyim

“Hyim—Hebrew for “life”— [creates] a pendulum of styles and feelings, swinging between sunny mento rhythms, spiraling Cuban son, urgent hip-hop manifestos, and pensive balladry—quite a sweeping achievement! Though the album sports several ecstatic party-starters, its most striking aspect is its profound emotional depth. Hyim's music holds a rare gravity...and it is clear that he possesses a grand vision.”
— Relix Magazine

Hyim is a formidable talent...a hippie child who grew up hip-hop, his music smoothly assimilates such disparate sources as Jamaican reggae, Cuban son, Brazilian rhythms, Mediterranean beats and urban DJ techniques. Spellbinding.
— Joel Selvin, SF Chronicle

"San Francisco singer/keyboardist/guitarist Hyim and band (percussion and horn section) generate good-vibe energy to suggest that they are an act to be experienced in a live setting, where they truly connect with an audience."
— Music Connection

“His ability to speak to the human experience is powerful. His music is full of passion and depth and makes us all feel our own joy, humor, love, and sadness. In the process, Hyim refreshingly reminds us what music is about – he moves us and connects us with each other! He is a luminous talent who I want to grow with in this album and whatever is next.”
— Elan Masliyah, Rainmaker Media

“Hyim & his band, The Fat Foakland Orchestra, will be getting crunk...”
— UC Davis' California Aggie
