Ari Abdul

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Ari Abdul is a rising star known for her dark alternative pop sound and magnetic stage presence. Growing up in a multicultural household -her Ecuadorian mother loving Latin music and her Costa Rican/Palestinian father introducing her to classic rock - Ari’s diverse musical influences range from grunge and hip-hop to cinematic shoegaze. She began playing electric guitar at 14, inspired by bands like Nirvana, and found her voice in July 2021. Her music weaves reverb-heavy textures reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, The Neighborhood, and Deftones with emotionally raw lyrics that strike a deep chord. Her debut single "BABYDOLL" and its sped-up version went viral, amassing over 800 million streams worldwide and earning a Gold certification from the RIAA. Ari’s dedicated, cult-like fanbase is drawn to her authentic, mysterious persona and her emotionally charged music, creating a passionate community that feels deeply connected to her journey. Rolling Stone Magazine named her "The New York Rockstar Taking Over the Internet." In 2025, she supported Nessa Barrett on the US leg of her Aftercare Tour, further cementing her rising presence in the industry. With new music on the way and her first major headlining tour this fall, Ari Abdul continues to carve her own bold and enigmatic path - shaping the future of modern music with fearless originality.
