A-RIZE, real name Carlos Van Boekhold, is a hardstyle producer from Venray, Netherlands. Touched by hearing the first Project One album in 2017, van Boekhold began his journey and discovered that creating music was a passion and skill he wanted to master. Discovered by Xense, later recognised by Atmozfears and eventually picked up by Headhunterz, A-RIZE already managed to turn big heads while being underground at that time.
