Ari Brisbon hails from Providence, Rhode Island, where he graduated from the Hope High Arts Magnet. At the age of fourteen, he began his artistic journey at Everett’s conservatory. His talent was recognized in 2007 when he earned a $6,500 scholarship to participate in Brown University's Theatre Bridge program.
