Alejandro Aranda (Scarypoolparty)

For much of the past few years, Alejandro Aranda, aka Scarypoolparty, has lived in near-constant motion, barely pausing to catch his breath as he rocketed from playing bars and backyards to sold-out headline tours and massive festival stages. And while thewidespread critical acclaim and tens of millions of streams he’s racked up along the way would seem to suggest that Aranda thrives on the chaos of the road, these past two years at home have seen immense buildout. Fresh off his ‘The Acoustic Tour’ in June2021, Scarypoolparty released his ambitious sophomore album, The Act of Forgiveness, in August 2021. The 21-track double album–featuring twelve songs with Emmy Award and Tony Award-winning composer Rob Mathes’ orchestral arrangements–further proves Scarypoolparty is a true “renaissance artist” (Alternative Press). Last fall, Scarypoolparty joined X Ambassadors as direct support on their The Beautiful Liar tour. Scarypoolparty is currently working on new music.
