About Rabea

A skateboarding injury started a journey that turned Rabea into a rising star of progressive rock.

His YouTube channel with millions of views showcases his vast technical mastery, but it's in bands like Toska and The Totemist where his intricate riffs and boundary-pushing musicality truly shine.

His unique style even caught the attention of rap superstar Stormzy, leading to a headlining performance at Reading and Leeds Festival.

He's currently exploring fresh prog-rock territory in Vower, a new band with Black Peaks' Liam Kearley and Joe Gosney and Palm Reader's Josh McKeown.

If you crave innovative guitar work, genre-bending compositions, and the spirit of modern prog, Rabea is your guy.
