Making music is how I process my ideas, emotions, and Identity. Whether I’m jamming with my band or working alone, I focus on staying honest to the moment and to myself.
I wrote these two songs a year ago (2024), writing the lyrics and rhythm guitar, and only recently recorded them with the band on my iPhone. It's one of our first demos. Hearing what it's become is truly amazing! From here, we'll continue to get better!
This is one of my most recent demos. Being only the second song I've fully produced myself. It's still rough around the edges and raw. However, I'm finally building my own personal sound. My stage name, "Arizmendi," is simply my last name. I chose this to fully exemplify that my music is just a showcase of who I am.
My influences
Mac
Mac DeMarco and Elliott Smith inspire me because they put themselves completely into their music. Listening to them, I feel the truth of who they are, and that’s what I try to bring into my own songs.
And who isn't inspired by the Beatles?!
