As1one (stylized as as1one, pronounced “as one”) is an Israeli-Palestinian pop group.[1][2] People described the band as “the world’s first mixed Israeli Jewish and Palestinian Arab pop group.”[3]
History
as1one was conceived and formed by music entrepreneurs James Diener, who signed and developed Maroon 5,[4][5] and Ken Levitan, who signed and developed Kings Of Leon.[6][7] Beginning in 2021, the pair held auditions across cities and small villages in Israel.[1] After thousands of auditions, they would eventually land on a 6 member vocal and multi-instrumentalist group comprising of Nadav Philips, Niv Lin, Aseel Farah, Ohad Attia, Sadik Dogosh and Neta Rozenblat,[1] who would sing their music in English.[4] The group members come from various backgrounds, encompassing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.[3] as1one had been in the works for multiple years, dating back before the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
In August 2023, as1one traveled to London to record at Abbey Road Studios with Nile Rodgers.[1] The group would later relocate to Los Angeles to continue recording their debut music, flying out on October 5th, just prior to the outbreak of the Israeli-Gaza war.[8][9][10] Since the group’s arrival, as1one has collaborated with multiple producers and songwriters, including Jenna Andrews, Stephen Kirk, Danja, Justin Tranter, and Y2K.[1]
The story of as1one is the subject of a 4-part docu-series launching on Paramount+.[11][3]
