Florie Namir is a jazz-pop Israeli artist based in Boston. She was classically trained in piano, voice and composition and have recently graduated with a PhD from Brandeis University.
While working on her degree, Florie wrote a new song-repertoire about her experiences in the U.S. and began performing in and around Boston. Since, she played at Boston Jewish Music Festival, Sofar Sounds, Mondo.NYC2016 and opened for Boston's star, Ruby Rose Fox, at the Brighton Music Hall. Her optimistic songwriting combines the music she loves: swing-jazz, Israeli songs, Beethoven and Bossa Nova and with a gentle yet powerful voice she delivers a moving performance.
