whoisariel

     Ariel was born in Queens and raised in Elmont NY.  His first introduction to creating music was the summer of 2008 when he first got his hands on a music production software.  At the age of 13 he quickly became attached to music and spent nearly every day making beats.  Over the years, he taught himself how to play piano and later learned his way around more instruments.  For a while, just being able to create beats was enough for him but that would soon change.  Around the age of 16 he began writing poetry and within the next year he was making beats, rapping, and writing songs.  After building a recording studio set up at home, he learned the ins and outs of audio engineering as well as graphic design/visual media.

     Ariel has now built & put out 4 official, self-produced projects: The Golden Tape, Zoose, Respectfully, and Not 4 Nothing.  His track record shows his tremendous growth and versatility as an artist/producer by bringing Hip Hop to a new and modern space while preserving the essentials of the genre. 

     Ariel sets himself apart through lyrical prowess and his gift for production. With his music and message, if nothing else, he hopes to leave an impact and motivate others to reach their highest potential.
