Thanks to his angsty, edgy modern rock anthem “Twentysomething,” Florida based singer-songwriter, Yoni, is boldly giving voice to the frustration of his peers, ambitious and restless college grads eager to conquer the world but running into roadblocks and hairpin curves along the way. Originally released on Yoni’s 2006 EP Ready For More, “Twentysomething” was licensed by MTV for use on their shows Real World, Road Rules and Real World/Road Rules Extreme Challenge. It’s also been requested for use on the Oxygen Network’s Bad Girls Club and is getting play on PBS’ Roadtrip Nation.

Yoni’s recently released full-length debut album Extra Credit features a re-mastered version of this track and two other songs from Ready For More, “Tales of Higher Learning” and his cool pop/punk libertarian rant “Let The Devil Know,” which will be played in the final scene/end credits of the upcoming indie film “One-Eyed Monster” starring Ron Jeremy.

These tunes have helped him build a passionate following (of all ages, not just 20somethings!) as he’s performed a wide variety of acoustic, duo and full band gigs at venues throughout South Florida this past year, including Automatic Slim’s and Purdy Lounge in South Beach and Tobacco Road, a downtown Miami staple of live music for 95 years. Yoni also hosted a CD release party for Extra Credit at Revolution in Fort Lauderdale, which has featured a wide variety of major artists, including Matisyahu, Pink and John Legend. Since its release, Extra Credit has received airplay on over 150 college stations nationwide.

Lately, Yoni, who was featured recently on the cover of South Florida’s New Times, has been playing colleges throughout Florida, including a number of shows in Gainesville, home of his alma mater the University of Florida. He was also asked to perform with award winning singer/songwriter Ellen Bukstel at a Barack Obama rally in Miami. He plans to tour colleges all over the U.S. in 2008.
