Ari Hest
Artist Biography

After opting out of a major record deal, New York singer-songwriter Ari Hest embarked on an ambitious independent "52" project, during which he spent all of 2008 writing, recording, and releasing one new song each week -- all from his NYC apartment.  The raspy-voiced singer then posted each new song online, encouraging fans to vote for their favorites.  At the end of the year, Hest tallied those votes and in March, released the independent album "Twelve Mondays," featuring reworked versions of 12 fan-selected favorites.

"...seasoned and professional performer, but his stage presence and delivery are as intimate as if he'd just written the song minutes prior."
