How to Be Nobody, Loudly
Panoptika One is my debut album — she’s been scouring playlists, breaking the internet, and apparently The Tonight Show is on my tail like it’s in heat. Podcasters won’t stop calling. I can’t even buy soy milk without someone asking for a quote about “my process.”

Mercury rising. Top Story - October 2025.
It doesn’t feel like the Mercury Music Prize deserves all that much praise for finally lifting its gaze beyond the M25. Yes, it’s nice that the music industry is apparently aware that there’s more to life than London. But it’s taken 33 years to reach that far-from-groundbreaking conclusion.

Danielle Alma Ravitzki has long been an artist who blurs the line between the cerebral and the spiritual. In her earlier Hebrew-language work, she turned the words of poets into lush, classically inflected art songs that hinted at vast inner landscapes. But on Mifarma, her English-language debut under her new moniker, she steps into something far riskier: the open terrain of unfiltered self-expression.
