Sunshine

Kobi Arad (Internationally Acclaimed pianist - composer / Stevie Wonder Collaborator) is the first musician to receive Doctorate in the field of Third Stream / Contemporary Improvisation from New England Conservatory. A Grammy Awards voting member - he recently won the Hollywood independent Music Awards Best Jazz (Weave); Holywood Music in Media Awards for Best Jazz (Sketches of Monk); Independent Music Awards for Jazz Instrumental Album (Segments), LIT Talent Awards (Platinum) for Best Jazz & Global Music Awards (Gold Medal) for Classical Chamber Composition (Ancient Novice).

"Sunshine" was born at a traditional Friday night Shabbat dinner, Sunshine captures the praise of a woman who said, "he turned rain into sunshine," honoring a Kabbalist amid life’s storms. The melody emerged naturally, blending Jewish ritual with gospel soul and a funky pulse. Filmed in Honduras, the video mirrors this transformation, with tropical downpours giving way to radiant sunlight, reflecting a Scarlett-inspired creative escape that turned vacation into artistic gold.
This track and video bridge diverse worlds, combining Semitic roots, Black church fire, and Latin heat into a transformative groove. Sunshine is a global-ready journey from shadow to light, sharing joy and inspiration with listeners worldwide.
