Noga Erez
By Charlotte Stace
Israeli musician Noga Erez has carved out a distinct place in contemporary music as a visionary artist and producer. Collaborating closely with her partner and producer Rousso, she has developed a sound that blends electronic, pop, and experimental elements. Her approach is fearless, tackling social issues with honesty.
She began studying music as a child, learning piano and guitar, and later pursued composition studies at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. Early in her career, she was in an indie-folk band, The Secret Sea, before she gravitated towards jazz. After completing her military service in 2011, where she served as a military musician, she performed as one of the backing vocalists for Dana International in that year's Eurovision Song Contest.
To date, she’s released three albums: Her debut Off the Radar (2017), follow-up Kids (2021), and most recently The Vandalist (2024). Catch her performing live at Sala Apolo.
