Artist Introduction

Arabella is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from New Zealand, crafting emotionally honest music that lives somewhere between soul, indie, swing, and pop, with hints of country woven through the cracks. With a raspy, melancholic voice and a guitar always close by, her sound is raw, reflective, and deeply relatable.

Currently in production on her debut album The First Love Trope, Arabella is pulling from over four albums’ worth of songs, stories written across different chapters of her life, relationships, and mental health journeys. Her writing leans into the uncomfortable, the nostalgic, and the moments we don’t always say out loud, turning lived experience into something listeners can see themselves in.

Inspired by the emotional honesty of Amy Winehouse, the storytelling bite of Lily Allen, and the vulnerability of Billie Eilish, Arabella isn’t tied to one genre, she’s tied to feeling. Every song exists to connect, not to impress.

Outside the studio, Arabella has built a growing audience through TikTok and Instagram, where she shares stripped-back performances, songwriting moments, and unfiltered glimpses into the creative process. Her music speaks directly to those navigating love, loss, self-discovery, and growing up, especially when it feels messy.

The First Love Trope isn’t just an album. It’s a collection of firsts, mistakes, heartbreaks, and realisations.
