Ari's
Bio
Ari Dvorin was born with musical fever.
At the early age of eight, he began formal music studies that
subsequently led him on a multi-path, sound-driven journey. A seasoned
multi-instrumentalist, Ari’s creative blends draw inspiration from a
slew of global sounds creating an upbeat and contagious fusion.
From his childhood in the Middle East to
stints in New York City and Colorado, Ari’s musical journey continued
with the pursuit of more intensive studies – further bolstering his
arsenal of sound. Ari's talent soon caught the interest of Latin dance
sensation Cabaret
Diosa, who recruited him as “Arturo El Gigante Sabado,” principle
saxophonist. Granted ‘family’ status, he continues to collaborate with
the group whenever he finds himself back in the Centennial State.
A natural transition for the musically
inclined, Ari relocated to Austin in 2004, to further make his mark.
He declared the city ‘home’ and gained popularity while performing
with a selection of Austin's top musicians including Cyril Neville,
Marcia Ball, Bob Schneider and Ephraim Owens. The rich talent pool and
budding relationships provided inspiration and connection – steering Ari
through the next chapters, creating The Lowdown and his most recent
ensemble, funk-trio Boogaloo.
Ari’s musical
collaborations draw no boundaries.
He continues to pursue his
musical quests while performing with many of the country’s finest
musicians.
He has worked with world class acts including New York City's Tito
Puente and Latin Orchestra, Karl Denson and Tiny Universe, Deep Banana
Blackout, Spearhead, Ozomatli, Particle, The Big Wu, The Slip, and
Carlos Washington’s Giant People.
