Adrian Pina, musically as ARSN, is an emerging hip-hop artist from the United States. Born in Loma Linda, California, the artist spent his formative years between South Pasadena (Alhambra) and East Los Angeles, which is reflected in his sound.
ARSN’s entry into the music industry began under the guidance of Teyana Taylor’s personal engineer, Mike Adrian Snell, renowned for his work with artists like Russ, Kanye West, and Quavo. Serving as an assistant during studio sessions at Atlantic Records, ARSN absorbed invaluable knowledge and expertise. His musical career officially started in 2012, serving as a coping mechanism following the loss of his cousin at the tender age of 16.
He has been gaining recognition for his collaborations with West Coast artists such as Bino Rideaux, Wavez, and Kyle Banks. ARSN’s signature blend of West Coast R&B and hip-hop draws inspiration from the likes of Kanye West, Russ, Nipsey Hussle, Travis Scott, Blxst, Kalan FrFr, A Boogie With A Hoodie, and P. Diddy.
After a bunch of singles released to the world, he is now ready to unveil his first 4-track EP titled ‘Mulholland Drive’. What better than talking about his own experiences, ARSN got this perfectly. The EP is a journey through his time living in the iconic Mulholland Estates, around the corner from Big Sean and three houses down from Kendall Jenner. The songs share a glimpse into the luxurious life of the people living in Beverly Hills. All are enhanced by ARSN’s flow, lush melodies and infectious beats.
“Mulholland Drive was inspired by real-life events when I was living in Mulholland Estates. Basically, it’s a fast-forward insight on what my life will sound and feel like when ‘I’m on’. I like to think of the project as a night-time drive in the back of a Rolls-Royce. Just an upper-echelon vibe of the music that I made prior to this project.”
