Omer Netzer Inks With White Knuckle Productions
Omer Netzer has signed a management deal with Oscar Chavira and White Knuckle Productions. Born in Nahariya, Israel, Netzer grew up surrounded by music, heavily influenced by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams and Elvis, an uncommon soundtrack for a kid in Israel.
Following his service in the Israeli military, Netzer turned to songwriting, and his music quickly gained traction, producing three Israeli radio hits and earning him the title of Israel’s Top Musical Artist. His rising success led to performances across Europe and Asia and he later relocated to Nashville to chase his country dreams.
