Relying on themes of love, heartache, and growth, ARZLEE takes his fans back to an era of R&B that dominated in his youth during the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, he has credited R&B, Soul, and Gospel music as influences in his music and songwriting. His unique voice and creative artistry brings a new perspective in today’s ever-evolving music industry. ARZLEE credits his family for nurturing his talent and love for music. His grandmother introduced him to the sonics of Gospel greats & Motown icons during the summers he spent with her in Mississippi. ARZLEE also credits Brandy, Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis as some of his main influences. This melting pot of gifted musicians comes together to inspire his signature sound of eclectic R&B. This lifelong love of music and creativity led ARZLEE to release his debut single “Looking Up” and his debut EP, Summer Love. Fueled by its lead single, “Castaway”, the latter has garnered over 270,000+ streams across all platforms with features on Spotify’s playlists Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: The Wave, and REFRESH. The success of Summer Love gave him the opportunity to open for 6LACK in 2019. Gearing up for his upcoming releases in 2020, ARZLEE is seamlessly creating the perfect bridge between alternative and old school soul. With so much lying ahead in his career, it is safe to say that things are “Looking Up” for ARZLEE.
