ARNY

About

ARNY, born Artem Nykyforov (10 July 1995), is a London-based independent pop artist and songwriter who creates contemporary dance-pop that blends infectious pop hooks, electronic production and performance-driven energy. His music combines polished production with emotionally honest songwriting, drawing listeners from the dancefloor into something more personal. Raised in a small coal-mining town in Eastern Ukraine, where generations of men in his family worked underground, ARNY became the first to choose a completely different path—music. Singing since the age of five, he left home at seventeen to pursue a career that few people around him believed was possible. After moving to London, ARNY completed a degree at the London College of Contemporary Music, where his commitment, artistic growth and work ethic earned recognition from his tutors throughout the programme. He has continued to build every aspect of his career independently—developing his artistic vision, producing music, creating content and growing his audience without the backing of a major label or industry team. His songs explore freedom, identity and human connection, as experiences shaped by the life he’s lived. Every release reflects a journey built through resilience, creative independence and an unwavering belief in his own path.
