Whether you know him by Scarypoolparty, Alejandro Aranda, or as the runner-up to the 17th edition of American Idol, one thing is certain; this young singer-songwriter's music will grab ahold of you. It is the rare sort of musical gift that gives credence to the word mesmerizing. Originally gaining fame with an audition for American Idol that left Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan simultaneously speechless and in awe, Aranda would go on to similarly amaze audiences and viewers across the world, throughout the show's run.

Now, with a fanbase that spans the globe, Aranda is shaping up for a 2019 the likes of which the rapidly rising artist could have only ever dreamed of. From going to regularly playing at free open mic nights in his hometown of Pomonda to selling out a national tour instantaneously, this is undoubtedly Scarypoolparty's year.
