Arlie is a post-indie singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer. Born in Northern Virginia and now residing in Los Angeles, Arlie first launched out of Nashville in 2017, with the stated ethos of “making the kind of music he would actually listen to.” His approach to arranging and sculpting sounds in Logic is as integral to his artistic voice as his lyrics and delivery. Lyrically, he draws influence from literature, philosophy, mythology, religion, and dreams. Arlie’s sonic vision was born out of a lifelong love of rock n' roll recordings from the 1950s and ‘60s, combined with an upbringing as a jazz saxophonist, formative experiences playing guitar in church bands, and a cheerfully rebellious disposition. Filter these sensibilities through the lens of 2010’s indie, 2020’s bedroom psych-pop instincts, a training in classical theory, and a few years in the Nashville songwriting scene, and you can start to understand the origins of Arlie’s stylistic lane.
