Rising Country Artist Omer Netzer Signs With White Knuckle Productions
NASHVILLE, TN March 18, 2025 | Omer Netzer’s journey is a remarkable fusion of music, resilience, and transformation that has led him to a major career milestone. Oscar Chavira of White Knuckle Productions signed Netzer to management, preparing for the next chapter of his musical career.
Born in Nahariya, Israel, Netzer grew up surrounded by music, heavily influenced by country and blues legends such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, and Elvis, an uncommon soundtrack for a kid in Israel. Despite the backdrop of a war-torn country, music became both a passion and a refuge.
Following his service in the Israeli military, Netzer turned to songwriting, collaborating with a friend from his family’s music store. 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 alongside global icons like Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, Mumford & Sons, Lewis Capaldi, and Bon Jovi.
Encouraged by Jovi’s manager, Netzer relocated to Nashville with his family in 2023 to chase his country music dreams. However, just days later, the October 7th attacks prompted him to reenlist in the military, putting his aspirations on hold once again. Returning to the U.S. in 2024, Netzer wasted no time reigniting his career. Signing with White Knuckle Productions, he has been crafting new music and establishing himself in the country scene.
“I recognized a fire and drive in him to succeed. Omer works very hard and is an overwhelmingly talented artist,” Said Oscar Chavira when asked why he decided to sign Omer.
“You always want to root for a generational talent that shows a great work ethic." Netzer joins White Knuckle Productions’ roster alongside BBR recording artist Frank Ray.

ABOUT OMER NETZER:
With a story as unique as his sound, Omer Netzer is anything but a typical country artist hailing from small-town USA. Born in Nahariya, Israel, Nashville’s latest Country/Southern Rocker has served as a combat medic, celebrated a chart-topping music career in his home country, became a trained equine therapist, a detective, and returned to the military a second time after the October 7th terrorist attack. After his second combat tour, he came back to American soil in February of 2024 and hit the ground running. In less than a year he signed a management deal with Oscar Chavira at White Knuckle Productions, began writing with some of the top songwriters in the world, performing at coveted stages such as Whiskey Jam and CMA Fest, where he was the first artist from Israel to do so, generating buzz with major labels, and hushing Country Radio Seminar executives with just his soulful vocals and an acoustic guitar. Working with producer David “Messy” Mescon, whose diverse credits include Megan Maroney, Nicki Minaj, TigirLily Gold, Little River Band, Reyna Roberts, and Lunchmoney Lewis, he and his team are expertly crafting an EP to launch Netzer into the country music scene properly. While his music could easily be a solemn foreground for the pain he’s experienced, he marches forward with faith and positivity as a compass, using his past to bring people together in one of the most divided times in our history. It is safe to say with Omer Netzer the American dream is alive and well.
