About
ACTION BRONSON:
A burgeoning media mogul and a celebrated figure in the culture, Action
Bronson never stops working. Born Ariyan Arslani, Bronson started his
career as a gourmet chef, rapping only as a hobby, until he garnered
overwhelmingly positive critical attention with his first mixtape Dr. Lecter, released in 2011 . Packing his rhymes with references to fine
food, culinary practices, professional wrestling, obscure sports figures,
and more, Dr. Lecter and its popular follow-up Blue Chips quickly built Bronson's reputation as
a lyricist. Singing to Atlantic Records through a partnership with VICE,
Bronson charted at #7 on Billboard with his major label debut Mr. Wonderful in 2015, which featured the Gold-certified single "Baby Blue,"
featuring Chance The Rapper. Since the release of that
album, Bronson expanded into filmed media, starting a web-based mini-series
for Vice entitled "Action in the Kitchen," which played
off the artist's love of food and music. The success of "Action in the
Kitchen" led to " F*ck, That's Delicious," a full-fledged TV series
and a flagship show on Viceland, where Bronson travels the
world, meeting chefs and cooks and tasting everything from haute cuisine to
street vendor favorites. Bronson also released a cookbook
of the same name, which spent several weeks on the New York Times Best-Seller list. Bronson expanded his
television empire into the realm of the metaphysical with Viceland's 2017
series " Traveling the Stars: Ancient Aliens with Action Bronson,"
and he currently hosts "THE UNTITLED ACTION BRONSON SHOW, " a free-form talk show on Viceland. Bronson ended his
relationship with Vice in 2018 and independently released his album White Bronco on November 1st.
