Shalom Gad

**Shalom Gad** is an Israeli indie singer-songwriter who's been carving out his own space in the alt-folk scene with a mix of raw lyricism and minimalist charm. Known for tracks like "ילדה של יער" (Child of the Forest) and "שקוף זה הצבע הכי יפה" (Transparent is the Most Beautiful Color), his music balances introspective storytelling with subtle social commentary, often wrapped in DIY aesthetics and stripped-down arrangements. Gad’s work, including the cheekily titled "בשביל הבידור" (For the Entertainment) and the experimental "עשרים וארבעה שירים של דקה" (Twenty-Four One-Minute Songs), reflects a knack for turning everyday moments and personal reflections into relatable anthems. While he keeps a low profile, his intimate live performances and self-produced releases have cultivated a dedicated following drawn to his authentic, offbeat approach to indie rock.
