Ariel Pink

Ariel Pink is a prominent American musician, singer, and songwriter born in 1978. His music is characterized by a distinctive style that heavily draws inspiration from popular music of the 1960s to the 1980s. With a lo-fi aesthetic, Pink's home-recorded albums have been widely influential, particularly among indie musicians, since the late 2000s.
