Edwin Raphael, a Dubai-raised and Montreal-based songwriter, is set to perform at Mohawk in Austin, TX on Saturday, September 28, 2024. His music style uniquely merges Eastern scales with the Western pop canon.
Raphael’s approach to songwriting involves an intentional and intensive form of world-building. “How do you anchor yourself when occupying multiple geographic identities at once?” he asks. For him, this process allows for the creation of an interior and sacred home through his music.
By developing a distinctive folk style that incorporates diverse musical influences, Raphael reimagines his work as an exploratory tool.
