AR Paisley (born Amarit Rehal in 1997) is a Canadian rapper and songwriter from Mississauga, Ontario. Paisley was born into an Indo-Canadian Punjabi Sikh family. Paisley started rapping during high school but didn't take it too seriously at the time. Eventually, his focus on music stepped up, as he started doing rap battles around town and on radios. Paisley was "going through it" in high school and dropped out, so music became his main outlet. Paisley began his career by releasing his debut album "Screwface" in 2017. His second album "Timeless" was released in 2019. He released his most recent album "AR Paisley Vs AR Money" in 2020. His musical influences include Ludacris and 50 Cent, as well as the late Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. The XXL Magazine dubbed him as "a lyrical student of Jay-Z and Ludacris" and his song "23 Freestyle" was listed in the top 10 Canadian songs of January 2021 by the Complex Magazine. AR Paisley has become known in the Canadian hip-hop scene for his lyrical prowess and his ability to blend his cultural background with contemporary rap styles, making him a distinctive voice in Canadian urban music.
