Floridian singer/songwriter Ari Rabin, a masterful lyricist blessed with bass-rich vocals and a broken heart, crafts music unlike any other. Unique in every right, from his sad lulls to punchy odes, deep ballads to sympathetic rage anthems, Ari creates an image of a character unseen, a pseudonym of sorts; what he calls: Alnev.

With his raw confessionals and veritable irony, Alnev inspires a small but loud group of fans with a thirst for truth. He paints a picture of a pessimist’s world, through the eyes and soul of a good-hearted realist. He tells tales of despair, love, heartbreak, and insecurity, and most importantly, he’s honest about it.

With influences in a number of genres, from Frank Sinatra’s smooth jazz to Panic! At The Disco’s genre-bending punk rock, Alnev creates a unique blend of hellishly soft music, and with inspiration from Billie Eilish’s dreamy anti-pop to Radiohead’s experimental tunes, he fashions reliable buzz-worthy hits, or in contrast, a distinct time-signature volatility with fringe ideas and the alternative-seekers in mind.

His first single, “Give Love,” arrived in August of 2019, and his growing fanbase followed. After reaching over 20,000 streams on his first single, he began “the raw project”, a never-seen before online streaming experiment starring weekly releases of unedited, raw voice memos directly from his phone.
