| Naomi Less - News & Reviews |
|
Named one of Jewish Week's 36 under 36
|
Less is known for her blend of Judaism and performance through outlets such as Storahtelling...Her new endeavor, Jewish Chicks Rock, uses music to guide Jewish teen and 'tween girls through the rough patches of adolescence.
While working in the field of Jewish camping, Less observed girls' destructive behavior toward themselves and others, from bullying and peer pressure to obsessive dieting - issues reflected in the songs she's currently creating for an album due out late summer.
"I'm not sure how girls are supposed to grow up resilient with so many mixed messages," Less says. "Media surrounds our boys and girls with Girls Gone Wild, while pharmacists are allowed to deny birth control... All this had been hitting me in the face and I was standing on the sidelines watching."
Not anymore. As the lyrics to her song "Responsibility," now available through Oysongs.com and her MySpace page, say, "If I don't speak then I'm to blame." Offering herself up as a positive role model for Jewish girls, she hopes to counteract the negative. When the album is finished, she hopes to expand the focus of Jewish Chicks Rock to include a Jewish Chick Rock tour and a "youth group meets School of Rock meets self-esteem development program" to teach teen girls about the music industry from creating music to production.
"If one Jewish girl can answer the question why she rocks, I've done my job."
