Arden Jones (born February 26, 2001) is an American rapper from the San Francisco Bay Area. Jones studied film in high school at the Marin School of the Arts^[1] and went to college at the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.^[2]^[3]

Jones taught himself how to play the piano, guitar, mandolin, ukulele, and stand-up bass.^[5]
