Authenticity is a rare quality to find in the music world. Most mainstream labels prefer a polished and easy-to-sell artist to an honest and genuine one. This is especially true in Jewish music, where songs about uncomfortable truths and human frailties are often passed over in favor of bland, comforting platitudes.
Yaniv, (Jeryko), is a 28-year-old vocalist and guitarist performs an intimate, emotionally direct, autobiographical kind of folk rock that incorporates elements of soul, hip-hop and electronic dance music. His new, six-song EP, Human, traces his transition from single into married life with earnest dedication, including such titles as “Find You,” “Our Story” and “Friends."
Like most of my converations with Yaniv this podcast is deep and insightful. There are many layers to Yaniv and on this episode we get to take a part some of his music, his most recent wedding, (Baruch Hashem) and we were blessed with a few live performances. This conversation took place over Zoom and Instagram live so apologies for the quality.
