ABOUT ARA VENEY

Ara Veney is a Christian singer, rapper, worship leader, producer, pastor, and teacher.

​

Born and raised in Inglewood, California, Ara grew up singing in church and in a group with his childhood friends. In high school, a teacher encouraged him to join the school's prestigious vocal ensemble, so he auditioned and was chosen to join. One of the group's teachers worked as a television music director and produced an album with the ensemble. This experience initiated Ara's love of the production, engineering, and recording side of music. In college, Ara sang and performed all over Southern California in choirs, as background for other artists, and as the worship leader of his local church. In 2006, Ara produced and released his first solo album, "B.O.L.D." He then followed that project up with 2 full-length albums ("The Call" & "Jesus Peace), a variety of singles, and is currently promoting the release of his new EP, "Got Faith." In addition to his work as a solo and featured guest artist, Ara has also produced, written, and engineered many projects under the umbrella of his production company: Trax 'R' Us.

 

Ara is a former classroom teacher and currently serves as a youth pastor at Eagle Mountain International Church (14forty Youth / Kenneth Copeland Ministries).  His desire is to help children and youth live a life of victory in Jesus Christ. Ara lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with his wife and three children.
