Arden Jones Neff is a 21 year old Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter. He grew up in a family of musicians and writers and was almost constantly surrounded by artists. From an early age he attended concerts and festivals in San Francisco and Oakland and heard plenty of rock, jazz and blues at his parents' house. So he became active himself and taught himself to play the guitar, piano, mandolin and double bass. His biggest influences came from hip-hop – 50 Cent, Tupac, J.Cole, Chance, Russ, XXXTentacion and Mac Miller are some of the names that inspired him. He started writing his own songs in high school.
