“I love the thrill of being fully in charge of the musical direction. I write, I sing, I play, I record. To be completely alone in front of an audience is an intoxicating experience.”

The pursuit of this feeling has led J. Arlin into the early stages of establishing himself as a vivid performer on the live scene in Sydney’s musical underground, as original recording artist and as a great interpreter of timeless classics.
