Today we’d like to introduce you to Ortal Edri
Hi Ortal, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I discovered my singing abilities quite late ( when I was 18 ) , before that I didn’t know that I can sing and I never sang in front of Anyone.
After a couple of years when I realized I can actually sing , I started posting videos on Instagram and it went viral , i also got amazing Feedbacks that made me stronger
Then some friends recommended me to use Tik Tok for more exposure , so I decided to sing in the streets of central London to see the Reaction of the people , also to gain confidence .
From the first video I posted on Tik Tok , I became viral in so many places in the world , so I started to travel from London to the USA , especially in NYC & LA and continue making more videos to get more exposure .
Now that I’ve got the attention of the audience I’m ready to work and release my own music and now days I’m working on my debut Album .
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
To be a musician for me It is not an easy journey
You always have to recreate yourself keep exploring new areas in music
So that people want to keep following you and to keep grow your audience
Things don’t come easy especially when you are an independent artist who does everything by yourself and manages your own brand Until you become “ someone big ” you have to be your own sales person , PR Person , show manager , but the most important thing is to work on your music as much as you can and keep a clear vision for your career .
I believe that the key to success is to not give up , keep dreaming big and Believe in your talent , It will be worth it in the end of the Journey .
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
People say that I am mostly known for my captivating powerful & emotional vocal performance .
I combine many different styles of music & vocals techniques , such as : belting, falsetto , riffs & runs, Pop & Soul , Jazz , and more ……
I try to combine the singing of the greatest vocalist that i like such as : Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Amy Winehouse. and mix it with rock singing style such as Janis Joplin , Led Zeppelin , Freddie Mercury etc….
I would define myself as a Rock & Soul singer 😃
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
