Mergui (@mergui) is an Israel-born, LA-based singer-songwriter. Not too long ago, he released his third EP, “Nobody Really Knows,” via Saban Music Partners.
Co-produced by Mergui in collaboration with industry icons Diane Warren (Cher, Mariah Carey) and acclaimed singer-songwriter/producer K-KOV, “Nobody Really Knows” dives into the ups and downs of love, trust, and finding oneself, touching on the magic of new connections, the heartbreak of dishonesty, and the intense pull of a love that feels almost dangerous. The songs explore the challenges of dealing with outside opinions and learning to trust your instincts, weaving together a moving story of vulnerability, strength, and growth.
The EP includes previously released singles “On My Mind” which amassed over half a million streams in less than two months and sparked a rework by record producer and DJ Sam Feldt, and “10,000 Faces.”

“Nobody Really Knows” features new tracks “Nobody Knows” and “Criminal,” which was written by the legendary Diane Warren.
On “Criminal,” Mergui said, “I loved everything about the process of working on ‘Criminal’—it was pure fun. We were trying to capture the feeling of having a love so good that it starts to feel a little dangerous. It’s about those moments when it almost feels like you’re under somebody’s spell.”

On the “Nobody Knows” single, Mergui said, “‘Nobody Knows’ touches on the feeling of being overwhelmed by others’ opinions to the point where you’re unsure which direction to take. Often on those journeys, you eventually realize that nobody truly knows what’s best and that there’s more than one way to reach your goal. Ultimately, the song explores the intersection of feeling both helpless and hopeful, learning to reconnect with your instincts and trust your gut.”
Mergui
For almost his entire life, Mergui has made it his mission to push the limits of modern pop music. He has accomplished some incredible feats such as opening for both Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 to a captivated audience of 65,000.
Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of early 20th-century Italian opera and the nostalgic allure of ‘70s AM pop, Mergui’s sophomore EP “Shadows of Blue” was a remarkable fusion of influences. Notable tracks from the EP include the Elton John-approved “Cry,” and “Happy Now?”, which Mergui performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show and NBC’s The TODAY Show, resulting in the track skyrocketing to the Top 10 on the U.S. iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts.
To date, Mergui’s music has been featured in top-notch editorial playlists across digital service platforms including Spotify’s New Music Friday (US & Global), Chill Pop, New Pop Picks, and Just Good Music. Mergui’s unguarded sense of vulnerability shines through in his art, landing him a coveted spot on People Magazine’s Emerging Artists of 2024 list. Following a successful tour with Forest Blakk and a collaboration with Sam Feldt in the latter half of 2024, Mergui is ready to take 2025 by storm with the release of his “Nobody Really Knows” EP.
