Aris  Chalin

is an award-winning jazz pianist and keyboardist based in South-East MI. His music seeks to challenge the conventional barriers between genres, while still remaining true to the craft and soul of jazz. His newest single “Constellations,” a collaboration with producer/artist Eyan Kills explores electronic, funk, and ambient textures.

His musical influences hail as much from classical and jazz as they do from hip-hop, rock, electronic and many more, from Oscar Peterson to Parliament to Pink Floyd. Aris is currently based in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area and tours the Midwest and Northeast to showcase his music. His groups have been featured in different venues around the area, such as the Blue LLama Jazz Club, Dabney and Co., Merriman’s Playhouse, and the North American International Auto Show COBO Center in Detroit.

Aris is also a collaborative partner with Expressive E's "Osmose" keyboard project, bringing their flagship keyboard to live performance.

    "I had the great pleasure of meeting Aris Chalin at the Gilmore Piano Festival where he was a fellow, and the distinctly enjoyable experience of hearing him perform live [...] Aris is surely going to make an important mark. Give this important Michigander your ears!"

  • Dutcher Snedeker, Earth Radio

    “Constellations” is a wonderful track that delivers something new upon each listen, which shows the tact and skill from these rising creatives.”
