Nader Rahy

" I am a musician, a singer and a songwriter. I am also the drummer of NENA (99 Luftballons).
I have worked alongside renowned musician, who played for the likes of David Bowie and Guns N' Roses.
There is something very anonymous about playing the big stages. It can be awesome but I miss the eye to eye connection when playing in front of a sea of people.

I have played thousands of concerts, many of them in bars, living rooms, at beaches and on the street.

I can appreciate the luxuries within the island of stardom. I love the random encounters and the edges of the real world though. Where loneliness often lurks in a freeway parking lot at night, when I'm trying to fall asleep in the back of my van. Then I have to remind myself, that my home is everywhere.

So the van keeps on rolling. We will meet somewhere along the way.So the van keeps on rolling and for this kind of freedom Nader happily accepts the loneliness that often lurks in a freeway parking lot at night, when he tries to fall asleep in the bed he built into the back of his car. Nader plays all over the world and the love for music and travel gets him in direct contact with the people. That's what it's all about."
