Ariel Marcus Rosenberg (born June 24, 1978), better known by his stage name Ariel Pink, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer based in Los Angeles, California. He is known for his musical eclecticism, influenced by 1980s cassette culture. He has released three regular albums on the 4AD label and was closely associated with the band Animal Collective.
Ariel Pink was born on June 24, 1978, the son of Mario Z. Rosenberg and Linda Rosenberg-Kennett. His father, a gastroenterologist, was born in Mexico City and his family is Jewish. His parents divorced when he was two years old.
Rosenberg was raised in the Beverlywood area of Los Angeles, in his youth, he showed he had some artistic flair while attending Beverly Hills High School and later entering the California Institute of the Arts studying visual art. After dropping out, he joined a Hindu ashram before focusing on music, wanting to "hide my personality, I could sing in different voices, use cover pictures that looked nothing like me".
Working at a record store, Rosenberg carried an immense knowledge of the pop canon, listening and absorbing everything from Michael Jackson and 80's radio pop to more obscure, experimental artists such as R. Stevie Moore, Throbbing Gristle, Can and death metal. He has cited The Cure - particularly their early albums - as his favorite band of all time. He started writing songs at "around age 10" and has since recorded over 500 songs in various shapes and forms on hundreds of cassette tapes, the majority of which have never been released.
Pink produces and plays almost all of his own music, and, in his early days, is noted for creating drum sounds and effects using his mouth, creating an unmistakably and highly original sound. This recording technique gave his music a very lo-fi sound, which was heavily criticized upon initial release, yet has since gone on to inspire innumerable imitators and other artists, oddly making Rosenberg a pioneer of a large array of modern genres. He subverts the idea that songwriting is more important than production, making the recording medium and sound texture a large part of the artwork itself. Despite having a low profile mid-to-late nineties, his self-recorded music was considered to be influential on the development of the DIY culture in music.
