Natanel Shashen Returns to Stage After Decade Behind the Scenes

Israeli singer and producer Natanel Shashen is making a comeback to the stage after a 12-year hiatus. Shashen first gained prominence 13 years ago with his hit song "Shuv" (Again), which became a massive success on YouTube. Despite a promising start, he stepped away from the spotlight and transitioned to working behind the scenes.

In recent years, Shashen has become a sought-after hitmaker, producing and writing major songs for top Israeli artists including Omer Adam, Eyal Golan, and Sarit Haddad. His notable productions include hits like "Geveret Ego," "Metorafet," "Hayat," and Dekel Vaknin's "Sof Ha'Ona." He has also been credited for hits by artists such as Itay Levy, Agam Buhbut, and Lior Narkis.

Shashen has expressed that he feels the time is right to return to performing. He has experienced success both as a solo artist and as a producer for others, but acknowledges facing challenges when pursuing his own singing career. The article poses questions about why he struggles to achieve the same level of solo success despite his proven talent and extensive experience in the music industry, suggesting he may no longer be alone in his endeavor.
