About Arthur

Arthur Explicit was born on 12.12.1971, a child of the 70s—curious, inventive, and quick to learn new things. His father was a professional singer/manager and influenced his life-long passion for music. By age eight he was learning piano, followed by acoustic guitar at fourteen, and by 1989 he was tagging along with his older brother to a popular recording studio. While his brother was working, Arthur was free to explore the equipment of music production: synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, and a new world of electronics. Within twenty minutes he had recorded his first drum solo.

The studio owner recognized and encouraged the young musician and offered him an internship. Unable to afford the professional quality equipment on his own, Arthur readily agreed. “I asked for free studio time instead of payment for my work,” says Arthur, and quickly learned the art of recording music. He made good use of the free studio time and produced his first electronic music album, Chill Out, in 1992. Making use of his father’s experience in management, the team created a record label to market his music.

In the ’90s, Arthur was a new husband, father, and living in New York City. He became intrigued by a new genre, Psy-Trance, and learned to produce the synthetic rhythms and layered melodies, beginning a new phase of his career as a sound designer. By 2004, he produced his first House Music EP, followed by an album. The young man grew as an artist and began to receive online recognition. He did gigs as DJ “Arthur Explicit” and as a solo musician in small NYC clubs, but music production was always his focus, and all his free time was spent in the studio honing his craft.

Today, Arthur Explicit works as a composer and music producer, creating immersive electronic music that flows through melody, atmosphere, and modern electronic elements. Rather than working within a single genre, he incorporates influences as structural and textural elements within a broader, evolving musical form. His long-form compositions are designed for immersive environments, including fulldome planetarium experiences.

In the beginning of 2026, Arthur presents his immersive 360° show Traveling Along as part of his ongoing Traveling Along series. This will be the first of four planned shows, with three more set to release over the course of the year: MOTIVA, FLUXORA, and MYSTÈRE. Each project continues his exploration of immersive music, combining melody, atmosphere, and modern electronic elements in environments designed for full sensory engagement.
