Born in Charlotte, NC, aron! grew up on rock acts like Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin before discovering jazz at age eight through a local teacher who taught him to read music. As a teen, he performed classics by Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra for retirement home residents. He later studied classical composition at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, developing an appreciation for Frédéric Chopin, Maurice Ravel, and Johann Sebastian Bach. He went on to earn a full scholarship to the University of Miami, where he studied jazz voice and film scoring while performing with his indie pop band Sunny Side Up!.

In 2023, aron! began shaping his “cozy pop” sound, building an online following and signing with Verve Records. His EP cozy you (and other nice songs) released June 6, 2025. “It’s like singer-songwriter jazz,” he goes on. “I’ve always resonated with the real old-school romantics. People are going through the same things now as they were back then. Heartbreak is heartbreak, and love is love. We’re all humans, and that’s what most of these songs are about.”

Aron!’s rising popularity led to international touring across Asia, Europe, and North America in 2025, including a European tour with dodie. That same year, he released the holiday EP cozy you Christmas. aron! later appeared on The Jazz Show and performed at Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum. He was also named as one of Vevo’s “DSCVR Artists To Watch 2026,” continuing his momentum with live releases of “cozy you” and “table for two.”
