Born and raised in Adelaide SA in October 11 1999, James Totani is a DJ and music producer working for the big league under current alias Netanya (stylised as: netanya), having accumulated 2 million streams (and counting) throughout all streaming platforms. His musical style has evolved over the years from Big Room and Progressive House to Future Bass. His first tracks under alias Sam Vuuren "Lights in Motion" and "God of Israel", appeared online in 2015 through a now defunct Italian net label Smash Up Records to minimal fanfare. Netanya continued to attempt for success, collaborating with fellow producers Ya'akob, Strell and Electro Rock singer Christina Marie Magenta on an EP titled "Hey Cutie" and saw a limited independent release on Bandcamp in August 2016. He continued to release music independently with a reboot of "Lights in Motion" and "Clarity" with Christina Marie Magenta in 2017, followed by a hiatus immediately after Clarity's release.

After Netanya returned to the music scene in August 2018 with a bunch of remixes on SKIO, Clarity became a sleeper hit, peaking at #78 on the ITunes Australian Electronic chart in February 2019. Due to the success, Netanya decided to take all he learnt since his inception and moved on, with the release of 'Lemme Go' in 2019, which is built around the Progressive House music Netanya previously made, and features vocals by RoundRobin (credited as Marco), the very first male singer to collaborate with him. In 2020, Netanya announced the release of his album 'Crave You', following four singles from the album. The lead single which is a second edit of "Lemme Go", was released in February 2020, when it garnered 100,000 streams in a month after being featured in online publications, and over 400,000 streams across streaming platforms in its lifetime. "The Heartbreak Kid (With You)" with uncredited lead vocals from Israeli singer Liel Bar-Z, was a minor success with 200,000 streams across all platforms in its lifetime. Netanya then released the album's titular single "Crave You", which has received over 100 plays on radios worldwide and over 150,000 streams on Spotify and 178,000 streams on Soundcloud, and was also featured on Episode 28 on Indie Network Radio Show. His recent single "Learning to be Me", despite having far fewer streams than the predecessors, gained over 1000 shazams in its first week of release and peaked at #41 on the ITunes Australia Electronic Genre chart in its third week. Netanya then released his
