We recently had the chance to connect with Noam Peri and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Noam, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
I’m chasing a dream —the dream of becoming the person I truly am and the artist I aspire to be.
Through music, I aim to build genuine connections with people, allowing them to see me for who I am and appreciate my art. If I stopped, I’m not sure who I would be.
Creating is such a core part of me that stopping doesn’t really feel like an option.
I believe there will always be something to chase, even when you get closer to it.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Noam Peri, and I’m a queer indie artist based in Los Angeles, creating music that blends the raw energy of 70s rock with modern electronic elements. My songs are intimate and often cryptic, exploring heartbreak, identity, and the search for connection.
What makes my work unique is that it comes from a deeply personal and honest place. I want people to feel less alone when they listen — especially within the LGBTQ+ community — and to find pieces of themselves in my music.
I’ve already released two EPs, one in Hebrew and one in English, and most recently, I released a new single in Hebrew called “Shum Davar” (“Nothing”), a powerful rock song about obsession and love. It’s raw, intense, and part of my ongoing journey to create music that resonates across languages and cultures.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world tried to define me, I was lost, searching for myself, never quite feeling like I belonged anywhere. Coming to Los Angeles changed that — it was the first place where things started to click, where I could breathe a little easier. But it wasn’t until I found my music that I truly felt seen and understood. Through my songs, I finally had a way to show the world who I really am.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I stopped hiding my pain when I started truly processing my deepest emotions instead of burying them. I realized that my fears and struggles are part of who I am, but they don’t have to control me — I can acknowledge them, listen to them, and understand them. Writing and making music became the way I could speak my feelings out loud, and in doing so, I discovered that I’m not alone. I also saw that others feel the same way, and through my songs, I can show them that they’re not alone either. Music turned my pain into a source of connection, understanding, and power.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
A cultural value I protect at all costs is believing in yourself. I think it’s essential to trust your own instincts, your vision, and your voice, even when the world tries to tell you otherwise. For me, staying true to who I am and the art I create is non-negotiable — it’s how I navigate life, express myself, and inspire others to do the same.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope the story people tell about me is that I lived fully, honestly, and with courage — that I chased my dreams, expressed my truth, and never shied away from my emotions. I want them to remember that through my music, I tried to make people feel seen, heard, and less alone. That even in moments of pain or obsession, I turned it into something that could connect and inspire others. Ultimately, I hope they remember me as someone who stayed true to herself and used her art to reach out to others.
