About A-RIZE

It started in October 2017. Hearing the first Project One album was the moment — not a career plan, just the realisation that making music was something worth being good at. Years went into the studio before any of it went out into the world.

The first release came in July 2021: “Faith Of The Saint”, on Eternity. Seven more followed on that label over the next two years, and in August 2022 Noisecontrollers brought him onto Art of Creation for “Daydream”.

In late 2023 he moved up to the Scantraxx main label. He marked it with “Rise Again” — not a single but a four-chapter EP, each track opened by its own interlude, built to be heard in order.

Since then: “Running”, “Mansion”, “Deep End (Run)”, and collaborations with Atmozfears on “million miles” and Noisecontrollers again on “The Lost Gods”. Twenty-nine releases in total.

Discovered by Xense, recognised by Atmozfears and eventually picked up by Headhunterz, A-RIZE turned big heads while still underground.

Aiming towards storytelling, every piece is part of a personal journey transformed into music.
