Musical career

Betzefer (1998–present)

Matan Cohen formed Betzefer along with vocalist Avital Tamir and drummer Roey Berman as a one-off band for a high school gig in 1998.
What started as a high school gig became a big part of the lives of the band members and since then the band started working, first as a cover band (Metallica, etc.) and later they started recording their own material, releasing Pitz Aachbar in 2000, Some Tits, But No Bush in 2001 and New Hate in 2003.
In 2005, the band released its first full-length album Down Low and currently is working on its second.
Matan (who is also known as Tim Young outside Israel) appeared on all of the band's releases and is a part of the band from its formation until today. He is also noted for always using a custom black Gibson SG guitar.
