We were lucky to catch up with Roei Zoar recently and have shared our conversation below.

Roei, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

My first exposure to music was at the age of four. That’s because my mom used to listen to classical and orchestral music. I fell in love with all the instruments, especially the piano, violin, and cello. What is fascinating about music is that it’s a universal language and connects people from all over the world. Over the years, I fell in love with more genres, especially EDM. I remember the first time I watched the Tomorrowland Festival, and I was hooked. I struggled severely in the school system and felt that I was wasting my time. I taught myself how to play piano at the age of 15, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I still have a lot to learn, and I am getting better every day. Music started as a way to distract myself from struggles at school and social life, but it quickly became much more than that. A year later, I started creating music and knew I had found my purpose. Everything I have done in my life and chosen to do in my life has revolved around music and following my dreams. All I want to do is be an example of perseverance and strength. I’m so grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish and know that this is just the very beginning for me still. I’ve had the privilege of touching millions of people’s hearts with my music, and I know that one day I’ll be extremely successful. Nothing makes my heart explode with love and light more than sharing my music with the world and having it accepted with open arms.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I am a music producer, songwriter and DJ. Music is my guardian angel; I suffered a lot in the past and music always saved me. Loneliness and emptiness are heavier than people can ever imagine. People couldn’t understand me or help me, and music was there for me in my darkest times. The genre that mainly helped me was EDM. There is something contagious about electronic music. The atmosphere, energy, and vibes are something else… I believe that the most important thing in life is to be happy, celebrate it, and create memories. This is exactly what EDM is all about.
Honestly, I can’t define my music by genre because I always love to experiment with different sounds and styles of music. I produce mainly EDM, but I love pop, soft-rock, and acoustic songs.
What I can tell is that my goal is to create a versatile and interesting catalog. I don’t want to create repetitive music with the same sounds and structure. In the past, I always created EDM, but now I am more open-minded to try different things, techniques, and genres. I want to surprise myself and my listeners by taking them on an interesting musical journey. I do my best to create emotional music and interesting melodies with strong and meaningful lyrics. In my opinion, we all experience pain, depression, anxiety, trauma, and so many different kinds of pain that might not be visible to anyone else. I believe that my songs speak to people, heal them, and can make them feel better and motivated.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Yes, I want to make people happy, emotional, and motivated.

I want my music to be the light in the darkness for people.

I’m a huge fan of motivational songs. Sometimes I write about love, traveling, and other things, but motivational songs are my favorite.

Even though I’m young, I have gone through a lot of bad times, and motivational songs have always helped me. That’s why I want to create music that motivates people, helps them overcome hard times, and helps them with mental health.

My goal is to create music that will last forever in people’s hearts and affect the way they see life.

I want to make a lasting impact and be an inspiration for many generations to come.

Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?

I mean some days I am at rock bottom, and some days I feel on top of the world. A lot of creatives have mental health issues. When I say “I need a break” it has never been and never will be from making music, it’s from all the things outside the creative process. I am transparent with how I feel because I know that people need people. And in this world filled with so many emotions, circumstances, and experiences, it’s ok to feel everything at once or nothing at all. Luckily making music isn’t draining me or distracting me from working on my mental health, it’s guiding me. I always remind myself that right when you think that you’ve hit rock bottom, maybe look up & see that you were just falling in reverse this whole time. And everything plays out the way it should. Trust your instincts, trust the universe, and light will come. Today I feel good. I feel strong, motivated, hopeful, and grateful. But I also feel tired, my body is sore, I have a lot of things on my plate right now, and life feels like it’s just speeding right on by without any control. I’m always planning, anticipating, and preparing for the future sometimes I don’t even realize what I have been waiting for is here right in front of me.
