RAHEL NAHELY
SINGER-SONGWRITER
I write and perform my own songs and collaborate with different artists on concerts and musical projects.
​
For the music and poetry project Air & Skin, I compose and perform as a singer and musician. Together with Canadian singer Rose, I created Rahel N’ Rose, a shared musical project that has taken us to stages in Canada and across Europe.
RAHEL NAHELY
poetic lyrics · warm melodies · vivid Storytelling
My songs are inspired by nature and by whatever moves me. What I love most about music is the act of creating itself. Turning inspiration and lived experience into sound is my way of processing, speaking my truth and giving something back. Witnessing a song take shape, step by step, from a thought or a melody feels like a precious gift — one that, at first, belongs only to me.
​
Music is a place where I can simply be myself, and it will never be something I create to please others.

New music · 2027
Recording my music was never the most important thing to me. Maybe we often try to hold on to the things we find beautiful instead of fully experiencing the moment and accepting that not everything beautiful has to last.
​
Sharing my songs live with people has always held a particular intimacy for me. No two concerts ever sound exactly the same, and that is something I have always valued deeply. I never wanted to record my music simply because that is what singer-songwriters are expected to do, or because releasing music is seen as a measure of success.
​
After many requests over the past few years, I have decided to record my songs for the first time. Maybe being able to capture something beautiful is just as much a gift as being able to let it go.
​
My first EP will be released in 2027.
AIR & SKIN
poetry set to music · atmospheric arrangements · bittersweet
Air & Skin is an international music and poetry project initiated by actor, poet and director Julian M. Grünthal. The lead singers are Rahel Nahely and Anat Porat. Drummer Rolf Caflisch and guitarist Daniel Wisman complete the core ensemble. Monica Tarcsay brings a touch of magic on violin, while Rees Coray makes the bass strings sing. Some of us live in Switzerland, others in Israel, and some were born in Germany — but our hearts are not bound by place or origin.
​
We are connected by our passion for music and the desire to move people through what we create together. Our performances combine live music and spoken poetry — delicate and dark, filled with longing and hope.
​
Over the past few years, different circumstances in our lives have repeatedly pushed our shared creative work into the background. We look forward to the moment when we can come together again, create new music and poetry, and share the stage once more.

RAHEL N' ROSE
two worlds · expressive harmonies · uninhibited songwriting
Dear Following Your Dreams, I surrender to your scary nature and challenging lifestyle. I commit to trusting you blindly and understand that you are my only means of survival." - Rahel N' Rose
Rahel N’ Rose is a Swiss-Canadian band. Rahel and Rose’s musical styles were born in two different places, but their songs reflect the same honest storytelling. Seemingly opposites, they write personal songs expressing similar struggles and desires. Both artists convey an undercurrent of feminine strength and advocacy for living on the fringes of society; they will beautifully break your heart.
​​​
As Rahel is based mainly in Switzerland and Rose in Canada, they haven’t recorded anything new together in recent years. When the two come together, you are more likely to find them at private jams in the mountains and valleys of British Columbia or on one of the region’s summer festival stages. Their focus is less on recording and more on making music together and performing live — though new recordings will definitely be part of their future.
