The Dutch singer-songwriter with Israeli roots did not openly identify as gay at the beginning of his career, and his decision to release his songs himself was preceded by long periods of adaptation to certain music business conventions. Although Dotan's 2024 album “A Little Light In The Dark” may not have catapulted him to number one like “7 Layers” did ten years ago, the 39-year-old seems to be enjoying more than ever presenting his comforting songs accompanied only by his acoustic guitar to a loyal—and often astonishingly lyric-savvy—audience.

Unfortunately, tickets for Dotan's gig at the Colosseum cinema are already sold out.
