raphibello is a Swiss-German dialect singer-songwriter. With an understated quality. Not as false modesty, but as honest humility.
For ten years and tens of thousands of francs, Raphibello chased success through big pop gestures. With his band Messina he built skyscrapers that dissolved into castles in the air. Then resignation. A break.
The itching in his fingers still never stopped, and suddenly new ideas began to take shape. Different ones. Smaller. With an unassuming sufficiency the lightness returned. And with it bittersweet songs that circle around failure and new beginnings. The search for happiness right where you are, and the realisation that maybe, after all, the journey is the destination.
