​

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.

These collaborations have played a crucial role in developing the unique sound he is now known for.
