So far, he has released several singles (Since 2018) , with his debut EP released in 2021.

Arpi Alto hit the waves in Brazil after she recorded some covers of Bossa Nova songs.
Part of her professional background is in the Opera field.
Arpi Alto has a very distinctive voice: Somewhere in between mezzo-soprano and contralto.
