OMER NETZER

With a journey driven by grit and soul, Omer Netzer is redefining what it means to be a country artist in today's global landscape. Born in Nahariya, Israel, Nezter now calls Nashville home, bringing a fresh perspective to American roots music. Omer Netzer’s music is less about borders and more about building bridges between cultures, genres, and most of all, people.

Music has always been Netzer’s lifeline. Raised in his family’s long-running music shop, Netzer grew up immersed in the sounds of legendary artists like Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, and The Allman Brothers. These early influences shaped the foundation of the music he shares today. For Netzer, music has been a calling. From making music in the bomb shelters as a kid to playing major festivals across Europe and the US, he learned that music has the power to comfort, to connect, and to move people. 

His breakout debut album, Goodbye Song, produced with a local musician from his family’s music store, spawned three radio hits and made him a household name in Israel. But Netzer wasn’t content to stop there. He took his music all over Europe, including the Sziget festival in Hungary in 2018 with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Ray, Mumford & Sons, and Lewis Capaldi. In 2019, his music got into the hands of Bon Jovi’s team, who asked him to open for the multi-platinum-selling band in Tel Aviv, a pivotal moment that led him to Nashville, TN, where a member of Bon Jovi’s team encouraged him to plant deeper roots in Music City.

Since relocating to Music City in late 2023, Netzer quickly built momentum, signing with White Knuckle Productions, collaborating with top Nashville producers and performing at major stages, including Whiskey Jam and 2025 CMA Fest, where he made history as the first Israeli artist to perform. In between performances and radio tours, Netzer began working with producer David “Messy” Mescon (Megan Moroney, Dasha, Tigirlily Gold), crafting music that blends timeless country soul with a modern global edge, creating a sound that feels both fresh and deeply rooted.

In 2025, Omer released his hit radio single “Midnight Blue,” marking his first major breakthrough in the U.S. Described by Illustrate Magazine as a “rich, emotional piece of music that shows how grief lets on after love has left the room,” the song earned a spot on Apple Music Country’s Country Roads playlist for over 18 weeks. The momentum continued with his Nashville debut EP, OMER, a six-song project filled with raw emotion, soaring vocals, and the unique blend of rock, blues, and country that defines his artistry.

Showcasing Netzer’s ability to turn personal stories into universal anthems, the EP features ballads like “Promise Land” and high-energy tracks like “Low High,” which Holler Country praises for packing “more ideas into under three minutes than most artists fit into a whole album.”

Netzer uses his life story to build empathy and connection. In late 2025, he released his first original holiday single, “Holiday Blues,” and spent the end of the year recording new music to share with fans. Set to release new music in 2026, Netzer continues to expand his catalog of deeply personal songs, using his artistry as a gentle but powerful reminder that music still has the power to unite us all. With a guitar in his hand and a mission in his heart, Omer Netzer isn’t just chasing the American dream—he’s using it to create a movement of healing, one song at a time.
