Yonatan “xSDTRK” Ayal (born September 27, 1988 in Montreal) is an award winning writer, producer and artist. Starting with the piano at the age of three, xSDTRK studied at the Toronto Royal Conservatory, and has since moved on to become a multi-instrumentalist working in all musical genres. Although his work as a producer can be exemplified through pop collaborations with the likes of Karl Wolf on "Yalla Habibi" & other fellow Canadian artist Ricky J on "Whatta Night" with his production team I-Notchz,[1] his creative abilities are also reflected through his solo act, “xSDTRK”. Over the years, xSDTRK has collaborated with many including multi-platinum writer and producer Tawgs Salter and singer songwriter Jesse Labelle.
