Jonathan Miron: violin
Philip Shegog: cello

ARKAI is a GRAMMY® award-winning, genre-defying string duo that bridges the classical and the contemporary, weaving cinematic soundscapes with electrifying virtuosity into epic performances around the world.

“From the moment we started making music, it felt unique,” Jonathan notes. “It wasn’t in some genre, it was our genre.” The duo has released two albums, Crossroads (2024) and the GRAMMY®-winning Brightside (2025), and built their striking visual presence through a series of stunning videos and performances on major prestigious stages, from the EMMY Awards to the GRAMMY® Museum to a Lakers playoff game to a virtual TED Talk reaching 30,000 people.

“We are an electro-acoustic duo, a bridge between worlds,” explains cellist Philip Sheegog. “That’s the defining characteristic of ARKAI.” Violinist Jonathan Miron, the other half of the duo, continues, “The best way to describe us is probably Hans Zimmer meets 2CELLOS.”

Jonathan Miron’s desire to connect with audiences of all cultures has inspired and taken him on an expansive journey to broaden his artistic palate – from collaborating with members of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silkroad Ensemble, to appearing with Tony and Grammy Award winner Ben Platt at Clive Davis’ famed pre-Grammy party, to impromptu jams with Grammy-nominated Cuban percussionist Pedrito Martinez at NYC’s 92nd Street Y. A graduate of The Juilliard School, Jonathan’s performance career has taken him to acclaimed concert halls around the world – including solo engagements at The Louvre Museum in Paris, Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Jonathan is a NS Design Artist.

Cellist and producer Philip Sheegog pushes the boundaries of genre with a technical versatility, fearless commitment, and extroverted generosity that have made him sought out on all ends of the musical spectrum. Sheegog fuses the sonic traditions and technical vocabulary of his native classical with cutting-edge sound design, live audio processing, and myriad genre influences to create a distinctively modern synthesis. A champion for musical innovation, Sheegog’s distinctive aesthetic draws upon the sonic traditions and technical vocabulary of myriad musical styles, ranging from classical to metal to folk. He has premiered over eighty new works by living composers and collaborated with such disparate groups as the legendary 1970s Steve Miller Band, members of the GRAMMY-award winning Turtle Island String Quartet, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and the hip-hop/classical collective ShoutHouse. Sheegog holds his degrees from The Juilliard School.
