Nili Brosh is a world-renowned guitarist who is at the forefront of leading a new generation of passionate
and gifted musicians. With two solo albums released and a resume boasting performances with some
of the greatest musicians in the world, Nili sets an incredibly high standard for musicianship and
professionalism in the world of guitar.
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Nili moved to Boston, Massachusetts at the age of 12. Later, Nili attended
Berklee College of Music, where she founded the Nili Brosh Band. Even with a loaded class and gig
schedule, she graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2009 and subsequently became one of the youngest
faculty members in the Berklee Summer Guitar Programs.
In 2010, Nili released her debut instrumental album entitled "Through The Looking Glass", which
featured members of her band along with a guest appearance by famed guitarist Andy Timmons. In the
following few years, she joined The Iron Maidens for countless performances in the US, and became a
member of Tony MacAlpine (Steve Vai, Planet X, CAB)'s band, touring the US, Europe, and Mexico. She
has also made guest appearances with Andy Timmons, Stu Hamm, Guthrie Govan, The Aristocrats,
and has opened for Yngwie Malmsteen on his 2013 "Spellbound" US tour. In 2014, Nili (as a band
member of the Tony MacAlpine Band) made EMGtv history by recording the first full live EMGtv DVDa
full performance of Tonys latest release Concrete Gardens. During this recording, she also shared the
stage with Jeff Loomis (Nevermore, Arch Enemy) on the song Square Circles. In addition to the widely
successful performances, Nili also recorded her own solo material live with the network. Currently, her
solo performances on EMGtv have achieved a viral success of popularity and attention. She recently
released her second album entitled "A Matter of Perception", featuring a heavyweight rhythm section
including Virgil Donati, Bryan Beller, Marco Minnemann, Stu Hamm, Aquiles Priester, and others.
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Nili continues to perform her original material with her Nili Brosh Band
while maintaining a touring schedule of shows and clinics. In 2015 alone, she has performed shows and
conducted guitar clinics in the United States, Mexico, and Colombia as well as became a regular
contributor for the popular Premier Guitar Magazine. In a world of guitar players, Nili has solidified
herself as a powerhouse leader among the greatest guitarists ever.
Nili endorses Ibanez guitars, EMG pickups, Dunlop/MXR products, Xotic effects, and Dean
Markley strings.
There arent many women playing progressive metal. How did you come to it?

A Matter Of Perception
I met this 12 year old Extreme fan a few years back, and
watched her mature into this incredibly gifted guitar player.
More than anything else, her fluidity and sense of melody
is impressive. Its reassuring to know that the next
generation of guitar is in good hands. What is it with guitar
players whose names have four letters, and begin with N?
Im a fan.
-Gary Cherone (Extreme, Van Halen)
Nili Brosh takes the phrase playing like a girl and turns it
on its ear. This new album weaves the kind of muscular
soloing, graceful melodies, and strenuous time signatures
that would send most men running to the woodshed. The
genre is instrumental prog-metal, and performing in Tony
MacAlpines band for two years has made Brosh
dangerous.
Fat single-note lines support wide interval licks that
seamlessly blend fluid legato, speedy alternate picking,
and compositional two-handed tapping. The title track along
with The Spring Tune is a transcendental voyage that
swoops and careens though rhythmic peaks and valleys.
She gets support from the prodigious talents of Stu Hamm,
Bryan Beller, Anthony Crawford, Marco Minnemann, and
Virgil Donati to name a few.
Smooth overdriven tones give way to clean jazz soloing on
Double Entendre, while the anthemic Silence Of
Saturday showcases angelic chord voicings and close
harmony.
The album conjures sci-fi and fantasy dreamscapes, but
within its theatricality, Brosh infuses a sense of beauty and
lyricism. Her cover of Virgil Donatis Alien Hip Hop is
sheer perfection. Broshs CD is the best instrumental progmetal record of the year. -Vintage Guitar Magazine
