Arsen Sheklian, better known by his stage name Arsen Roulette, (born July 23, 1976) is an American singer, lyricist, guitar player and upright bass player from Fresno, California. Roulette is a prolific songwriter penning more than 100 songs in the Rockabilly Genre, a mixture of Rock and Roll, Blues and American Hillbilly music. In 1996 Arsen discovered Rocabilly music and in 1997 Arsen formed the rockabilly trio “Arsen Roulette and the Ricochets”, the bands rotating members were a veritable whose who of neo-rockabilly giants. After several name changes and a successful U.S. tour, the trio grew into a quartet of semi-permanent musicians, mainly European Rock-A-Billy musicians who play full-time in other bands of this genre. Arsen Roulette makes bi-annual pilgrimages to Europe, frequently headlining Europe’s biggest Rockabilly events; Summer Jamboree, Hemsby, Screamin’ Festival and the Brighton Rumble just to name a few.
Currently, Arsen is playing lead guitar in a local Rockabilly band that is well established in Central California, Jailbreak, with lead singer, Greg “The Jailhouse Daddy” Kosobud and continues to tour all over the world as Arsen Roulette.
