Erez Safar a.k.a. Diwon (formally DJ Handler) is the founder and director of the Jewish music website, Shemspeed, the independent record label, Modular Mood Records, Hip Hop Sulha, and The Sephardic Music Festival.
As a budding music mogul and a multicultural maestro in New York, Diwon’s music is strongly influenced by his family who migrated from Yemen to Ethiopia and finally to Israel and the Yemenite and Sephardic music he grew up with.
By extracting beats predominantly from Yemenite music and fusing it with hip-hop, Diwon creates a music that reflects the multicultural musical tapestry of Jewish music.
