About
Welcome to DotanNegrin.com, where one can stroll in like a blank canvas and walk out with an infinite amount of colors to take home.
With this blog I wanted to create a place where I could talk to people around the world about traveling, unique music from all genre’s, and opinions about whats going on in the world. I have a wealth of information and music that I have acquired through my experiences and I would love to share them with you. I seek to inspire people so that they can then inspire me.
Who is behind the Piano?
My name is Dotan (Doh-tahn) Negrin and I am 25 years old, living in Dix Hills, New York. I am a first generation American born and raised in New York City and Long Island. My mother is from Israel and my father is from Greece…hence, the name, Dotan.
At 24, I have already been through almost every phase of music throughout the years. Since day 1, I remember my parents putting on Elvis before I went to bed, and I also had an obsession with my Michael Jackson cassette tapes and his dance moves. I played the clarinet when I was in Elementary school and became interested in Gershwin and big band Jazz. As a kid I always heard oldies when I drove around with my Dad. I can pretty much sing all of those Oldies.
On a trip to Israel I started listening to Techno and House music. 90’s Rock and Classic rock was thrown in there in Middle School.
In High School, everyone was into Hip Hop: 50 Cent, Notorious BIG, and Tupac were mostly my influences during those times. When I got to college, i was thrown full stream into the sounds of Miles Davis and Bill Evans, which led me to begin playing piano. Since then, I have never found anything else that I was more passionate about.
Right now, i listen to a variety of genre’s and occassionally I love to dabble back in time to my old loves. Recently, I have been more interested in 60’s and 70’s Rock as well as Classical Piano music.
Thank you for your interest in “The Piano”. If you ever have any questions, looking for any specific sheet music, or just want to talk about music, email me at:

I recently traveled across America with my piano and dog for 5 months, playing on the streets of many of the cities in this country. Check out my adventure: www.PianoAcrossAmerica.com
