ARIN KESHISHI

Bassist, composer and producer based in Amsterdam.

​

Arin was born in 1992 to an Armenian family in Tehran-Iran. His enthusiasm for music developed at an early age with classical guitar and soon after he found his passion for bass guitar. He graduated from Tehran University of Arts with a Bachelor in Classical Double Bass before moving to the Netherlands to complete a Masters degree in Jazz Bass Guitar at the Conservatory of Amsterdam where he had the privilege to take lessons with great bass masters such as Dominique Dipiazza, Björn Meyer, Theo de Jong, Frans van der Hoeven, Elie Afif,

Or Bareket and Glenn Jr Gaddum.

 

Arin is known both as a solo artist as well as a multi-style session player with a versatile and diverse skillset. This musical diversity comes from his extensive experience in working with international musicians & artists from across the world, contributing to projects in a wide range of genres such as jazz, fusion, pop, rock, classical and flamenco as well as Iranian and Armenian folk. These collaborations have played a crucial role in developing the unique sound he is now known for.

 

He serves as the Artistic Director of the renowned Marmoucha Orchestra, while also passionately engaged as a composer and arranger.
