As1one – the first Israeli-Palestinian pop group – shares their latest song “Together As One,” along with the official music video via AWAL. In the video, the group is unified on beachfront sands, dancing to the beat that carries the song’s message of togetherness and keeping faith. Directed by Marc Klasfeld, the record is a feel-good dance tune produced by Oak Felder and Lil Aaron.
“‘Together As One’ was born from a desire to lift spirits in a time when the world feels heavy,” the group states. “Working on this song and video reminded us to keep our heads held high — not just for ourselves, but for the people we love. We hope that when others hear it, they feel a sense of connection and inspiration — a reminder that they’re not alone.”
The new song arrives following the group’s sophomore single re-release, “Stranger 2025 Version,” and following an exceptional debut year for the group. They burst onto the scene in September 2024 with their first single, “All Eyes on Us,” which featured the legendary Nile Rodgers and was recorded at the historic Abbey Road Studios in London.
Their sophomore single, “Stranger,” followed in November, and quickly thereafter, Paramount+ released the four-part documentary series As1one: The Israeli-Palestinian Pop Music Journey. The series, now streaming, chronicles the group’s formation, creative process, and brotherhood over a five-year period of becoming As1one, the next global pop group. Up next, the group will return to the UK mid-September for a special performance tour in colleges and universities throughout Scotland, Ireland, and Britain following a hugely successful school tour earlier this year.
Formed in the summer of 2022, As1one – Aseel Farah, Nadav Philips, Neta Rozenblat, Niv Lin, Ohad Attia, and Sadik Abu Dogosh – was conceived following an extensive nationwide effort led by veteran industry hitmakers and music entrepreneurs James Diener and Ken Levitan, who respectively signed and developed Maroon 5 and Kings Of Leon.
After a rigorous training process, the sextet relocated to Los Angeles where they began writing and recording with some of the industry’s elite, including producer heavyweights Nile Rodgers (David Bowie, Madonna, Daft Punk, Beyoncé), Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk (BTS’ “Butter” and “Permission To Dance”), Oak Felder (Demi Lovato, John Legend), Justin Tranter (a go-to co-writer for Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Imagine Dragons and Chappell Roan), and Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, The Weeknd).
As1one arrived in Los Angeles on October 6, 2023, one day before the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Despite being deeply affected by the news and ongoing conflict, the group, composed of Israeli-Jewish & Palestinian-Arab members, hasn’t let anything obstruct the brotherhood they have built throughout their time together. Through the collective power of music, the group is overcoming barriers and hopes to inspire new generations to do the same, a sentiment more important now than ever before.
