Story

My wife and I formed A.R.I. booking and Promotions April 16 2013 after watching our band friends being ripped off by shady hack Promotors show after show. So we set out to create a Booking and promotions company that offers fair honest and Professional treatment of bands. By doing so and sticking to our Ethics and Values we have created a name and reputation that has reached bands in Several countries. We are very proud of what we have built and and achieved in the past 6 years. We are not a huge company with an endless budget, we are humble working class people that still work full time jobs but we put 100% into every show we host.

What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is one of the most powerful forms of communication. It can trigger memories, feelings and emotions like nothing else. The average person has more music stored in their memory than any other information true fact.

What is your music dream?

As a small Promotor and Booking Agent, I get to work with some of the absolute best local and regional Unsigned and small label bands . I get to meet some very cool musicians and fans. My Promotions and Booking company has been contacted by bands from Germany, France, Spain , Sweden as well as performers from Africa. In 6 years I have built a great reputation for Honest and Professional treatment of bands. I could be some rich famous Promotor. Booking Slayer tours but I am happy where I'm at. As a child I often thought about Motley Crue or metalica playing my birthday party or something like that, I have had some birthdays that some pretty kick ass band have played at, so in a sense my dream has came true.

What inspires you to make music?

Music it self.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

None really I just play for me and my 4 year old these days.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

I don't

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Lack of originalaty, everything sounds like it has been produced by the same person using auto tune and the same cookie cutter catch lyrics. This is way I love unsigned music, it's them, its Raw and no in necessary catch lyrics.

What do you think of Drooble?

Not sure, been here for 5 minutes

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Hurdles and barriers.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Strongly. I go to local shows, buy merch, and book and promote local bands.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

1,000,000,000 likes on YouTube. Great bands get over looked and passed by constantly. How ever if you can get a million likes on YouTube you can be a talentless hack and end up an over night sensation.
