Yair Karelic was born in Israel in 1979.

After graduating in classical guitar and composition from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, he worked as personal assistant to Luca Francesconi. While still in Italy, he transcribed a number of Francesconi's works into their final layout for publication by BMG Music. In addition to band performances with electric guitar throughout Europe, he composed original soundtracks for plays by Sanchís Sinisterra, Xavier Albertí and Juan Diego. Yair's knowledge and experience merge in an exciting and complex way in his songwriting and music productions. He plays in several bands and is currently under contract with his new project, "City At Dark" with the label "Snowhite". "City At Dark" is represented by the Berlin based "DQ Agency".

In 2019 he took over the musical direction of the project "Ecotopia", a live radio play / rock'n'roll concert initiated by the "Center for Literature", together with band colleague Laura Landergott. Inspired by this stage work he came to his current project. Here he composes the music for a monodrama, based on a story he conceived, adapted by Lluïsa Cunillé, who was awarded the Spanish National Literature Prize in 2010. This performance will be directed by Xavier Albertí, the current artistic director of the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya.
