PASSERBY, ECHO-SYSTEM
Travel through life, travel through music and art.
Passerby is a multi-cultural platform designed to incorporate music, visuals, sounds, ideas, people, and places.
It was conceived by Gilad Segev, who is an Israeli singer-songwriter, musician, traveling documentarian and author.
The Passerby is a traveling artist who tells his quest stories from his encounters with people from different cultures through music and video content. This content is an innovative multimedia experience that invites the spectators to a journey of different cultures and roots which eventually demonstrated a musical international melting pot.
His positive inspiration and creation are the result of his meaningful interactions with others and is shaped by their stories, lifestyle, authenticity, and dominant memories and traits of the many places he had visited.
Passerby stands for music without borders, shared creativity, cultural exchange and self-expression.

The Passerby Manifesto
What does it mean to be a Passerby?
Sure, most of us are all travelers in this life.
But how many of us travel through life?
When we travel through life, at times we might find ourselves on an eternal quest, with no final destination in mind, discovering our physical journey is a trigger for inner and emotional journeys.
We find that when we are letting go, and getting lost on our adventures, we open a portal to hidden parts of ourselves.
Our journeys don’t just stop there though.
We’re also inspired by the lives of people we meet along our way.
We move through their stories, their background and culture, their way of life, their authenticity and heritage.
We find ourselves interconnected to these individuals.
Although we don’t speak the same language, we can communicate through the universal languages of music and art.
We collaborate and pass on their inspiring messages.
To lift up and echo these voices around the world.
To always carry a part of their lives with us wherever we travel to next.
Ultimately, creating a circle of inspiration.
No matter how far we go, traveling through life will open a mutual sense of belonging.
It gives us the ability to build emotional bridges and create the ecosystem in which we want to live in.
We realize that, in the end, traveling through life leads us to our own true final destinations – our inner voices.
