as1one is the world’s first Israeli-Palestinian male pop group.[1][2]

They are a 6 member vocal and multi-instrumentalist group comprising of Nadav Philips, Niv Lin, Aseel Farah, Ohad Attia, Sadik Dogosh and Neta Rozenblat.[3]

The group was conceived and formed by music entrepreneurs James Diener, who developed Maroon 5[4][5] , and Ken Levitan, who developed Kings Of Leon[6][7].

as1one relocated to Los Angeles, CA to record their debut music just prior to the outbreak of the Israeli-Gaza war in October 2023.[8][9][10]

The story of as1one is also the subject of a 5-part docu-series launching on Paramount+ in early 2024.[11]
