A R I Z O N A
A R I Z O N A is an American pop rock and electropop band from New Jersey. The trio consists of lead vocalist Zachary Charles, guitarist Nathan Esquite, and keyboardist David Labuguen. The members met during their college years at Berklee College of Music and Emerson College in Boston, where they began collaborating on music projects. In 2015, they officially formed A R I Z O N A, choosing their name based on a humorous incident involving an Arizona Iced Tea hat, symbolizing their laid-back and unpretentious approach to music.
In May 2017, A R I Z O N A released their debut studio album, GALLERY, which peaked at number 4 on the Top Heatseekers chart and number 24 on the U.S. Alternative chart. The album featured popular tracks like "I Was Wrong" and "Oceans Away," which garnered significant streaming success and expanded their fan base. Their follow-up album, ASYLUM, was released in October 2019, further solidifying their presence in the electropop scene.
Throughout their career, A R I Z O N A has been recognized for their energetic live performances and has participated in major music festivals such as Lollapalooza and the Governors Ball Music Festival. They have also collaborated with notable artists, including a feature on Avicii's posthumous album TIM with the track "Hold The Line."
