LERA SHEMI
such a gooD boy
Every artist has that moment where they throw open the door and let people see exactly what they’ve been working on. For Lera Shemi, that moment comes with such a gooD boy. It isn’t shy about what it wants to be. Heavy drums, jagged bass, vocals that creep in and twist around the edges. It’s confrontational, but also strangely magnetic.
Shemi’s story starts a long way from Los Angeles. She grew up in Ukraine, was already experimenting with music before her teens had even started, and carried that drive through to Berklee College of Music. The training is there, the studio hours are there to, Shangri-La, Shames Hall, but the end result doesn’t feel polished in a corporate way. It’s intentionally rough around the edges, and that choice says a lot.

The single itself leans into temptation, the moment you know something could unravel but you keep going anyway. That feeling runs through the production, through the way the beat never quite lets you settle.
This is only the first step, with more singles promised, but such a gooD boy makes one thing clear, Lera Shemi is already writing her own rules.
