Aries is an enigma you’ll struggle to put in a box. Having bypassed the traditional methods of reaching fans in favor of a more direct approach Aries built up a following of over 375k YouTube subscribers by posting his self-directed music videos to the platform. Combining addictive melodies with a strong visual identity Aries has grown a community of avid supporters that are fixated on his every move. Don’t be surprised to see thousands of comments across his videos or countless Instagram fan accounts obsessing over hints of upcoming releases.
Aries had a groundbreaking 2018 with the surge in support for his singles ‘CAROUSEL’ and ‘SAYONARA’ propelling them to the Top 10 of Spotify’s US & Global Viral charts. With the follow up ‘RACECAR’ Aries’ fanbase once again proved their strength as the song and accompanying video were streamed over 1 million times in the week from release. Similar success was delivered on ‘SANTA MONICA’ as Aries posted millions of streams on the board, leading to him being made the cover of Spotify’s hugely popular Anti Pop playlist, a place previously held by Brockhampton.
On WELCOME HOME Aries delivers 5 new songs to combine with those 4 existing singles, creating an introspective body of work filled with highs and lows.
