Naomi Less, hailed by PresenTense Magazine as the “Ultimate Jewish Chick Rocker” breaks gender stereotypes with her faith-driven, edgy, pop-rock riffs, soaring melodies and uplifting messages. Naomi combines her passion for education, Judaism and music to motivate audiences worldwide to work for change in the world. In 2008, Naomi founded Jewish Chicks Rock, encouraging young girls to pick up instruments and express themselves.
