Melbourne’s Arka-9 brings over 12 years of production and hobby engineering experience into an eccentric and ambiguous branch of vocal electronic pop. His creative philosophy is dominated by attempts to compound chaos and order. Emotive language, dynamic electronic elements, and creative sampling at the core reflect a confidence and love for his craft. Each track provides something typically missing from modern pop music; something you can't put your finger on --an X factor. A reminder of why people should love music.

Having spent the last 4 years producing and providing vocals for 'MC FAX', Arka-9 is taking a break from rap to build his image and official releases. A new EP of highly polished tracks exemplify an individualism that demands an audience to take notice.
Although typically behind the scenes, Arka-9 still finds himself on stage with previous performances at Tanglewood Music Festival, a support act for Bliss n Eso, and most recently, Melbourne's World Vegan Day.
