ROMI PELES (BORN JUNE 23, 1992) IS A COMPOSER, CLASSICAL GUITARIST, AND RECORD PRODUCER CURRENTLY BASED IN TEL AVIV. A SAN FRANCISCO NATIVE AND 90S ‘NINTENDO KID,’

 

ROMI HAS CARVED OUT A DISTINCT MUSICAL IDENTITY, BLENDING CLASSICAL VIRTUOSITY WITH MODERN ROCK AND ELECTRONIC INFLUENCES. HIS MUSIC RADIATES ORIGINALITY AND AN UNMISTAKABLE SINGULARITY, DRAWING COMPARISONS TO A YOUNG JOHN FRUSCIANTE WITH A CLASSICAL BACKGROUND, AS IF HE WERE PURSUING A SOLO CAREER STEEPED IN BOTH TRADITION AND EXPERIMENTATION.

ROMI’S DEBUT ALBUM, OLD SCRAPBOOK (2014), HIGHLIGHTED HIS EARLY CLASSICAL GUITAR COMPOSITIONS AND GAINED RECOGNITION FOR ITS MINIMALIST YET DEEPLY EXPRESSIVE APPROACH. IN 2021, HE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE WALKING BACK EP, CONTINUING TO EXPAND HIS SONIC EXPLORATION

HIS SECOND ALBUM, DIGITAL DYSTOPIA (2024), IS A TWO-HOUR DOUBLE ALBUM WELL-RECEIVED FOR ITS BOLD EXPERIMENTALISM AND THE WAY IT CRITIQUES DIGITAL DEPENDENCE, SOCIETAL UNREST, AND MENTAL HEALTH. THE ALBUM, WHICH BLENDS PSYCHEDELIC, JAZZ, AND CLASSICAL ELEMENTS, HAS RESONATED WIDELY, WITH THE TRACK "SHOOT ME DOWN" GAINING GLOBAL ATTENTION.

ROMI’S UPCOMING ALBUM, BREAK UP ALBUM, IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL REFLECTION OF HIS STRUGGLES OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS, INCLUDING HEARTBREAK, GRIEF, AND NAVIGATING LIFE. THIS NEW PROJECT PLACES AN EMPHASIS ON HIS VOCAL JOURNEY AND LYRICISM, MARKING AN IMPORTANT SHIFT FROM THE INSTRUMENTAL APPROACH OF HIS EARLIER WORKS.
FORMED IN TEL AVIV, ROMI'S MUSICAL PROJECT INCLUDES CORE MEMBERS LIKE MAX OLEARTCHIK (BASS), RAN LIANI (DRUMS), THE GROUP’S FORMATION TOOK PLACE ORGANICALLY, WITH EACH MEMBER CONTRIBUTING THEIR UNIQUE TALENTS AND BACKGROUNDS TO SHAPE THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC.

WITH A GROWING FAN BASE AND A REPUTATION FOR PUSHING MUSICAL BOUNDARIES, ROMI PELES CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AS AN ARTIST, ALWAYS STAYING TRUE TO HIS VISION WHILE PUSHING THE LIMITS OF GENRE AND SOUND; AND WITH THE RELEASE OF BREAK UP ALBUM, HE IS READY FOR A GLOBAL TOUR AND AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER IN HIS MUSICAL EVOLUTION.
