Growing up in Letterkenny, County Donegal, Aaron Coleman aka Arn.’s penchant for writing infectious pop hooks and his borderless aesthetic is challenging any preconceived notions of what it means to be an artist from rural Ireland.
Having been raised on classic rock and The Dubliners as a child, he inhaled hundreds of hours of seminal records on family road trips to Waterford and fed his fascination for anthemic pop hits through looping VCR clips of Enrique Iglesis as a child at the weekends.
As the challenges of adolescence unfolded, Arn. found solace in the recommendations of his brother. Blaring Slipknot, Wu Tang Clan and early pop-punk heroes like Paramore, Arn. was able to channel his teenage angst into visceral and emotive records that would come to inform his heart-on-his-sleeve songwriting.
Now, with a number of singles under his belt and an appetite to bring his music to the world, Arn. is gearing up to be next up on Ireland’s conveyor belt of DIY trailblazers.
