Ari Hest became concerned in music while still a adolescent growing up in the Bronx. Though he'd taken piano lessons as a shaver, he taught himself how to play the guitar, generally by listening to records from his parents' assemblage (Alice Paul Simon) and alternative radio receiver (Bone Jam, Dave Matthews). While poring over at NYU, Hest hit the East Coast college lap, acting a mix of covers and his possess substantial. The exposure built him a estimable regional following, which he nurtured with self-released albums in 2001 and 2002 (Coming Home and Story After Story, respectively). Hest signed with Columbia Records in 2003 and issued Mortal to Tell a twelvemonth later. Created with producer David Rolfe, the album was a merge of new and re-recorded corporeal and match comfortably into the well-appointed adult alternative territory of artists like Josh Kelley and John Mayer. The Green Room Sessions, an EP on which Hest played all the instruments and was recorded and motley on the popular, free programme GarageBand, came proscribed in 2006, and was followed the year after by another full-length Columbia dismissal, The Break-In.
