Are you listening to Galisko’s new one?‘Get Out’ is a straight up pop rock hit – anthemic and extremely catchy to the extent that for the period that I listened to the song, I found myself singing the lyrics aloud as though this is a song I have been listening to for ages.
For the LA-based singer-songwriter, it marks a huge creative awakening after a painful couple of years of COVID. Just like many others, Galisko had to start wondering about many things that were once taken for granted as the entire world was turned around. But instead of degenerating they used all of that anxiety and desire for change this website into one hell of cathartic music release.
Working with producer Ben Shopen, on “Get Out” Galisko has delivered their most ambitious and expressive sound to date The stacked guitars, punching drums and the shouty vocal performance just scream about the newfound freedom. It’s the kind of fist-pumping anthem which can be perfect for invincible vocals on the stage leaving all the troubles behind.
In this case, Galisko has always spewed a message of determination as well as empowering of self through songs from the group. The themes that Daniels explores in his shorts get amplified to the nth degree when he infuses them with raw feeling and full-blown punk energy in “Get Out. ”If you’re among the people who have had their freedom limited in any way in the past few years, I’m not sure there is a song better suited for a good ol’ cathartic scream.
I recently reconnected with Galisko to talk about its experience with the pandemic, how the song “Get Out” was created, and how this new music is making them feel alive.

What is your stage name?
Galisko is my stage name
Is there a story behind your stage name?
-Galisko is my surname. Basically most of the time no one calls me by my first name, Amit, and from a young age it was always Galisko. I chose to embrace it.
Where do you find inspiration?
– I get inspired by things that happen to me most of the time. Situations I’ve been through in my life. Love, family, things that I go through between myself that are difficult to explain in words and I simply find it best in writing.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
– Wow. Music was everything to me from a very young age. I found comfort in her, she was often a loving hug that I needed. She taught me a lot about myself and gave me the gift of my self-confidence.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
– No, I didn’t come from a musical family. But from a young age my parents raised me in a musical education. At the age of 7, they enrolled me in a piano class, then a guitar class, and when I decided that I wanted to sing, they supported me a lot and have always been behind me in every decision I made regarding music. They are very proud of me and always there to support and help.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
– I am very influenced by the biggest rock-pop bands in the world.
Radiohead, Coldplay,
Lena Del Rey, Florence and the Machine..
And also female singers from my country, Ninet Taib, she is really my idol.
But I always try in everything I do to be me and bring something new.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
– From a very young age it was clear that music was an integral part of my life. I studied piano, guitar and voice development most of the years of my life.
In the army I served in a military band and after my release from the army I did a bachelor’s degree in music.
– From a very young age it was clear that music was an integral part of my life.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
– The first performance I remember is a performance by Aviv Gefen, a huge Israeli artist. I was about 13 years old at a huge rock festival on my country’s independence day.
I left there with light in my eyes. I remember myself literally standing on the irons on the stage and unable to take my eyes off him. and still it has been 16 years and every few months I am at his concert and enjoy it in the same way.
How could you describe your music?
My music is a journey. Whoever succeeds in listening to the words through the melody and production will discover a world. I’ve been through a lot in the last few years and I wrote it all in my songs. I decided when I start taking them out, I will help other people get through their difficult times, what is not visible to the eyes, what does not sparkle and shine on Instagram and the networks.
And so I also chose to do all the designed photos of the album. full of contrasts. Very beautiful things compared to hard things, cigarette ash, rising smoke, a fake crown and toilets and everything looks so rich and shiny but real life is not all about the glamorous exterior.
Describe your creative process.
– Most of the songs on my album were written during the isolation period of the corona virus. I wrote almost more than half of the album during this period and whenever I could get out of the house I went to record with my producer, Ben Shopen, who was also a full partner in the making of this album. From the melodies to the arrangements to pushing me to write more and find my unique voice.
Working with him was amazing and I love every song on this album so much.
What is your main inspiration?
– My main inspiration is the marital systems I have experienced in my life. Somehow it’s easier for me to write about it, I feel like I have something to say and also help others overcome difficulties related to relationships.
Almost every relationship I’ve experienced in the last 10 years has a song on my album.
What musician do you admire most and why?
– Radiohead is one of my favorite bands in the world. I love the strange melodies and the bizarre lyrics as well as this sadness that is present in Thom Yorke’s songs.
And like I said, Ninet Taib is the best singer in the world in my eyes. Her voice accompanies me everywhere from a young age. In whatever form she took it. In any musical style she chose to sing. I look at her and strive to get there. To such a level of control, of perfection.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
– for sure. I think I realized that I can do many things with my voice and also stylistically.
I really like to sing sweet ballads, but my album came out more rock kicking in the face.
Although it is very diverse and combines several styles within it.
Over the years I became more sassy and less sweet despite my blonde hair and big green eyes.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
– I don’t look at anything as competition. I have my own path that I only look at and it is only before my eyes. Nothing else is interesting and I don’t think there is any competition in music. as musicians we always like to collaborate and do things together that inspire and that’s how I see it.
What are your interests outside of music?
– I am a voice development teacher. And I really like to teach and help other people use their voice and go through processes. I think that due to what my country is going through, my perception of music has changed a lot and I take it as a huge healing factor and my love for music also increased with the war, I realized that I can help people with the music.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
– I would probably manage other people’s businesses or deal with art in one way or another.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
-Because today most of the advertising and virality comes from Tiktok and platforms of this style it is a bit more challenging because you no longer have to be just the musician who writes songs, sings and performs, but also a content creator, a comedian and a real publicist for your life. Sometimes I think I missed the train in my adult years ha ha but I try. It is indeed more challenging
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
– I would return the music to simply be music without all the jungle around.
What are your plans for the coming months?
– In the coming months I will release 2 more singles from my debut album, “Unfixable”. And then the rest of the album will be released.
I am very excited and can’t wait to sing the songs from the album on stages.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
– There are currently no musical collaborations planned. I am concentrating on releasing the album and myself to the world first.
I want my songs to reach as many people as possible and help them get through challenging times.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
– First of all, I really thank everyone who walks the journey with me and waits all the time in anticipation to see and hear the things that come out. I feel this virtual hug and it gives strength to continue. So stay tuned and see you soon
