Haim has moved about. Born in New York 1957, he grew up in Jerusalem.
He later moved on to the south of France where he worked with the Roy Hart Theatre.
Then up to Paris where he composes, sings, improvises, write short stories, clowns about and teaches voice.
In 2005 he recorded his third album, The Hole in the Wall, compositions in Hebrew, Arabic and English. He is currently preparing a new concert with the pianist Stefano Genovese.
After a formal musical education
(conservatory, bel canto, etc…)
Haim met and was deeply influenced

explorers in the south of France :
voice, movement, imagination and another
vision of what life can be.
