Arthur Yoria

Based in Houston , TX , the Chicago native got a late start in music when he first picked up the guitar while attending the University of Houston . After stints in the Houston based bands, The Jeepneys and Lavendula, Arthur decided to set out on his own and released a 4-song, self-titled EP in 2001 followed by a 5-song EP, 'can you still look adorable' in 2002. Having racked up rave reviews, nomination after nomination in the Houston Press Music Awards and some friendly but frivolous phone calls from the major labels, Arthur felt it was time to record a full-length. So with the help of good friend and former Houston Rocket, Matt Maloney, 12 Records, Inc. was created for that very purpose. The Rest is history ... With an uncanny ear for melody and hooks, paralleled only by his captivating voice... he will never return to the 9 to 5 cubical habitrail with his rock and roll tail between his legs!
