History[edit]
Tiger Love[edit]
In the early 2010s, he and his brother, Gigi Ben Artzi formed the band "Tiger Love". Roy played guitar and was the lead vocalist while his brother Gigi played bass. The band's song "Pussy Cocaine" released in 2010 reportedly received hundreds of thousands of views and even made it to the top ten of the Hype Machine Music Chart. They have shared a stage with artists such as The Pet Shop Boys and Mark Ronson and were featured in The Guardian, Paper magazine and Fred Perry.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]
In 2011, "Tiger Love" appeared at the Lowlands Music Festival in the Netherlands with The Arctic Monkeys.[20]
In 2016, they released their single "Space in Space". In the track's accompanying video, which was directed by Gigi, model and Instagram sensation Aliyah Galyautdinova is seen sexually pleasuring herself.[21][22]

In 2015, Roy and his brother, Gigi, turned to directing music videos, video shorts and commercials. In his video project, "Downtown Divas", he conducted a series of interviews with female drug addicts about their realities and ambitions. In his short "Fashionable Animals", models are interviewed about their favorite animals.[23][24][25]
In 2016, he directed a live action short entitled "E.W.A." about a teenage girl who is suffering from a condition of a constant nose bleed while exploring different aspects of her life and the people around her.
