Marta Arpini

Those who love indie, experimentation and captivating sounds will not be disappointed by this singer-songwriter. She’s a teenager, a kid and a woman at the same time. — ELLE Italia Marta Arpini’s star is rising thanks to an original mix of indie, folk, alternative and sophisticated pop. “Catchy with a twist”. Born in Italy and based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Marta intertwines her diaristic songwriting and intimate storytelling with a peculiar taste for layered arrangements and production – dreamy, enchanted, with hazy melancholy and a constant spark of hopefulness at the same time. Marta’s songs simultaneously carry innocence and a profound sense of self. Her journey into the indie universe is equipped with a predilection for surprising harmonic turns, unconventional forms and a love for tender sounds, tape-y timbres, soft, crystal clear vocals, dusty guitars, misty horns and occasional grand openings and intense passages. Both Marta’s debut album, “Forest Light”, and her sophomore one, “I Am a Gem”, were nominated to the prestigious Edison Jazz Award. Her latest record, “Tender Superpower”, was released in February 2025 on AT EASE.
