Local singer/songwriter Rami Feinstein prepares to release his first album in English.
Rami Feinstein loves music with a pure passion that is at once refreshing and inspiring. This pure love comes through in every note he plays, every line he sings. A talented guitarist and singer with three studio albums and a solid fan base under his belt, Feinstein is preparing to release his first album in English. His Jumpstarter campaign to support the new album goes until August 21st. Feinstein sat down with The Jerusalem Post to discuss the heartbreaking story that led him to putting out an English album, viewing his fans as musical partners and speaking “Hebrish.”
When did you first learn you were a musician? I came to it later in life. My father was dean and head of Jewish studies at NYU and Columbia. My family were all musical but also very into academia. I was going in that direction for a while. I thought I was going to get my master’s and doctorate, and that I would make a career of lecturing and researching in history and sociology. But I thought I would give the music thing a year and see how big it should be in my life.
