Quentin Arispe is a versatile musician whose genre-blending sound is both innovative and deeply personal. Quentin explores themes of duality, freedom, and self-expression, challenging societal norms while celebrating authenticity and vulnerability.
Featured in Austin Chronicle and performing at venues like The Bitter End in NYC, Quentin has also appeared at festivals such as SXSW and ACL. With influences spanning soul, R&B, indie pop, and pop icons, Quentin continues to leave a lasting mark on music.
In 2024, Quentin released "As Above, So Below", a two-part EP series that transitions from introspective indie rock to house-inspired tracks, exploring grief, healing, and liberation. As the frontperson of The Past Lives, Quentin channels their glam-rock side, making a significant impact in the Austin music scene. Their upcoming album "CONICA!", set for release in 2025, will fuse themes of technology, society, and the human condition with classic sci-fi elements and Quentin's unique sound.
