Michael Hazani
Michael Hazani is a Unity Certified VR developer & artist. Originally from Jerusalem, Israel, Hazani is a graduate Summa Cum Laude of Berklee College of Music, where he studied songwriting, composition and digital production, followed by a career writing and producing music for artists, films and television.
In 2014 Hazani followed his passion from the music industry into creative technology, teaching himself coding & VR development. Later that year he released an album under the moniker Qualia that was accompanied by a series of interactive virtual reality environments. These Songscapes, which complemented the individual songs in the album, won the JSLC / A3E “Innovators in Music” award and received widespread acclaim for their use of music in a VR context.
Hazani is currently Lead VR Dev at SIXR, a Seattle-based startup, working on an inclusive VR art gallery experience. SIXR's mission is to provide an innovative, immersive platform for artists from underrepresented backgrounds.
In addition to technology, Hazani is passionate about teaching, coffee & cats – despite a mild allergy to the latter.
