Dennis Lloyd – reggae, R&B, and indie pop musician from Israel Dennis Lloyd’s real name is Nir Tibor. He was born on 18 June 1993 in Tel Aviv. The boy loved music since childhood. When Nir was just 8 years old, he learned how to play the trumpet. At 13, he was already playing guitar. As a teenager, Tibor wanted to get a music education. His parents helped him enroll in Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts in Givatayim. Nir worked hard to come up with the right pseudonym. He wanted it to be well sounding and easy to remember. Nir was planning to release songs online so the pseudonym is aimed at the Internet users.
When still in high school, the aspiring artist was uploading his songs on YouTube. He also recorded music videos. That’s when the young man found his first fans and first critics. Many schoolmates didn’t understand why Nir likes reggae. Others were jealous of his talent. Eventually, the number of fans substantially exceeded the number of critics. Lloyd was on his way to becoming famous.
The first rays of popularity touched Lloyd when he released his first official single "Playa (Say That)". Even though the song didn’t make it into American and European charts, it was popular on the local level. Unfortunately, the single wasn’t commercially successful. In 2015, Dennis released "Snow White". Again, the single wasn’t a hit. It earned good reviews from some critics. Dennis decided that he needed a change of setting and moved to Thailand. He spent several months there, writing music. Eventually, he created more than 30 songs.
