Arty

Artem Stoliarov (born 28 September 1989), known professionally as Arty, is a Russian trance and progressive house producer, DJ and model. He has collaborated with Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, BT, Paul van Dyk, Mat Zo, OneRepublic, and Matisse & Sadko. At the age of eight years old, Arty's grandmother insisted that he should attend music school, from which he successfully graduated aged just fourteen. He learned to use FL Studio sequencer, and his love of video games and electronics led to his keen interest in production equipment. Eventually he began to be influenced by artists such as The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and The Crystal Method. After graduating from the Saratov State University with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Arty decided to seriously commit to electronic music.
