“For me, I feel a song is never created in that moment when I sit down in the studio and write it. Songs are seeded in confusions, questions, insecurities – but they blossom out of clarity,” powerhouse singer/songwriter/producer Noga Erez explains of her introspective creative process.

To Noga Erez, each negative experience and rumination-filled evening is a seed planted —when she finds clarity and a song blossoms. In her latest mini-documentary film, she explains how she has harnessed her anxiety as a force that propels her tremendous drive and work ethic. What was once an inhibitor later becoming a motivator for songs like “Bark Loud,” an ode to underdogs everywhere.
