When I Arrived You Were Already There

Jaffa Road's Juno-nominated singer takes flight with the release of her debut! Shaped by years of sharing songs of peace and prayer with worldwide audiences, Aviva Chernick's growing body of work reveals a tireless force of nature. Pure, somewhat devotional, raw and entirely unguarded, she exudes the confidence of a seasoned veteran.
When I Arrived You Were Already There __presents a cast of musical compatriots to share in the collective experience of creation. Sung in both English and Hebrew, Chernick enlists the support of Ernie Tollar, Joel Schwartz, Chris Gartner, Rakesh Tewari, Aaron Lightstone, Naghmeh Farahmand and others, incorporating exotic instrumentation such as tabla, udu, xaphoon, oud, djembe and bansuri together with electric guitar,piano, bass and percussion.
"Aviva Chernick is a fearless musical adventurer. Her clear and persuasive voice takes us places we wouldn't know to go on our own." Tom Allen, CBC Radio 2
