BIOGRAPHY

Artur Aigner, known as ARAI, is a 28-year-old songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has introduced his unique signature sound, “DRAMA POP,” with his debut album. Having learned various instruments such as violin, drums, guitar, and piano in his childhood and adolescence, he taught himself electronic music production at the age of 14. His exceptional learning abilities allowed him to create a musical universe that interprets pop music in an unprecedented way.

“Drama Pop” is characterized by dynamic, catchy melodies and rhythms seamlessly blended with self-recorded choirs and computer-produced orchestral sounds. ARAI draws his inspiration from a diverse range of genres, including Hip-Hop, R&B, EDM, Jazz, and Classical. He now brings his debut album, released in June 2023, to the stage as a compact live band trio, alongside Anna Tropper-Lener on piano and Danylo Dmyterko on drums. ARAI’s concerts are known for his charismatic presence and captivating tunes enriched with musically sophisticated details, making each concert a unique experience.
