Young, Focused, and goal oriented are a few words that come to mind when describing who Tristian Arnez is. He is a multi-talented self-taught singer, songwriter, athlete, musician, actor and model.

Tristian was born in Maywood, IL. , began singing at the age of 4. He's a self-taught bass/baritone singer with class and much talent. Tristian's inspiration to record his new holiday single “A Christmas Song", was inspired by his love for legends like the late Nat King Cole.

Tristian grew up listening to Cole; his grandparents were huge fans of Nat King Cole and played his music throughout his childhood.

Tristian continues singing along until the age of 14. Like most young men, when puberty set in Tristian voice changed and he could no longer sing at the higher register. Not allow the change to stop him from his passion, he found that his favorite song "The Christmas Song" was a perfect fit for his new found voice.

In fact, he sang that song at his college scholarship audition and was offered a college scholarship instantly.

Currently, a freshman at Illinois Benedictine University, Tristian was awarded scholarships in music/academic and track. Sports and music are his loves!! He's the former captain of his high school track team and also a USA Track and Field Jr. Olympics Finalist.
