Rafi Barides, a multi-instrumentalist, performer, singer, guitarist, and producer based out of New York City, is changing the music scene by introducing songs created with everything but instruments.
Having released four albums and three singles over the last two-years, Barides is gearing up for a big musical release in 2020 as he continues to redefine what it means to be a musical artist today.
“I love pushing the boundaries of music, using things like typewriters and the sound of a closed book to provide the background beat in all of my songs,” said Barides. “I brand myself as a one-man-band, a performer who’s not afraid to find music in the most unlikely of places.”
Like any adventurous performer, Barides has faced his fair share of adversity, rejected for his creative mindsets and music projects in high school. Spiraling into deep depression that affected his scholastic performance, spending 13-hours per day at a private religious school, Barides knew he needed to be able to express himself somehow.
That year, Barides began releasing music and short clips on Instagram, receiving an instant positive reception and feedback from listeners intent on exploring what “Rafi Barides Music” had to offer.
“My Instagram is a mixture of live performances and carefully curated music videos in strange settings, like libraries, where I use random objects at my disposal to start making music,” said Barides. “It also includes hot covers, like my most recent ‘Toss a Coin to Your Witcher’ from the hit Netflix show. I want everyone out there reading this today to know, whatever your artistic talent, don’t be afraid to share it with the world. There is an audience waiting for you.”
