Drew Jarrett Captures Musician Arsun Sorrenti For RUSSH February 2019 'Paradising' Issue

Photographer Drew Jarrett captures musician Arsun Sorrenti for the February 2019 ‘Paradising’ issue of RUSSH magazine. The son of Mario Sorrenti and Mary Frey, Arsun was interviewed a few months ago in i-D Magazine. Check out Arsun’s music, which packs a powerful resonance in these times.

He’s speaking to us from his uptown New York home, “not far from Yonkers”: the place where that love of music now manifests. Arsun might’ve been raised on a diet of 1990s rock and The Beatles (his father and grandfather’s personal favorites), but it’s here that his own inspirations come to the fore; a continuation of an obsession that started when he was 13. “At some point, I started listening to a whole range of music: jazz, country, 50s and 60s music specifically. I love Bob Dylan, too!” He reels off his own interests -- not your average playlist for someone who was born on the cusp of the new millennium. Eventually though, it was a single song that convinced him music would be his calling in life: " Satellite of Love" by The Velvet Underground -- “the original demo, not the Lou Reed version,” he points out.
