DRAMA is the multicultural collaboration between producer Na’el Shehade and vocalist Via Rosa, whose soulful delivery is inspired by jazz improvisation and playful hip-hop and bossa nova patterns. With Rosa’s upbringing in a musical household and Shehade’s DJ culture background, the duo’s chemistry was evident from the start.

Renowned for their dynamic fusion of electro and dance genres infused with infectious energy, DRAMA’s musical prowess is a testament to the collaborative mastery of both Shehade and Rosa. Shehade’s intricate production and instrumental arrangements perfectly complement Rosa’s captivating vocals, establishing the duo’s signature sound. What sets DRAMA’s live performances apart is their ability to elevate their music to new heights. Shehade meticulously re-produces all their songs for their live sets, offering audiences a fresh and exhilarating experience that transcends the confines of studio recordings.

Since their inception, DRAMA has cultivated a distinct sound, releasing acclaimed EPs such as ‘Gallows’ and ‘Lies After Love’, and gaining recognition with their debut album, ‘Dance Without Me’, in January 2020. Their undeniable chemistry has garnered global attention, with performances at prestigious festivals including Coachella (2023) and Glastonbury (2022).
