Ari Peiderezek was born in Otzeipao, Azkali, in the midst of the Otzeipao plague epidemic. In 1985, he was kidnapped by Baphian soliders during the closing months of the 1st Bapho-Azkali war and after being held for several years, was sold into slavery, forced to work in the outskirts of Turku in a quarry. After escaping slavery in 1999, he fled into Yamahat, being protected by [yamahati], whom he would later marry. After being taught to read and write Baphian, he released ''Electronic Music'' in 2001, under the pseudoynm ''Soyan Belupo. Electronic Music'' would become the best-selling Baphian album of 2001. Under his real name, he would release the albums ''Castle of Broken Dreams'' and ''King'' in 2004 and 2008 respectively, popularizing dubstep, pop, and art rock in Baphia.
Peiderezek was born in the underground Azkali communities in Bátsi, Rathari to a Azkalo-Baphian family. His parents had emigrated to Rathari in 1967 due to their ideological beliefs shortly after the founding of the State of Azkali, and had gone into hiding within the sewers of Bátsi after the outbreak of the 1st Bapho-Azkali war and the subsequent Bátsi Earroatz. Peiderezek spent the first six years of his life within the underground, before being found by local occupation forces. He passed through various Azkali concentration camps before being sent to the Bartsinan Quarry, where he would spend the next twelve years of his life.
 
Peiderezek escaped the Bartsinan Quarry in December 2000, encountering music for the first time and soon being inspired. He released his first album ''Electronic Music'' in September 2001, to widespread critical and commercial success. His fame was further cemented with the release of his albums ''Castle of Broken Dreams'' (2003) and ''King'' (2005), both being lauded as landmark pop culture releases. He was sued by the Bartsinan Mining Corporation in 2005 for the rights to his freedom, engaging in a six month long legal battle that ended due to the abolition of slavery in Noellastan. Peiderezek suffered a public mental breakdown and was institutionalized for a year; his release from the Turku Central Mental Hospital in June 2006 was among the most widely viewed television events in global history.  
 
Peiderezek released his album ''Unbreakable'' (2007), regarded as the most important Bapho-Azkali record of all time. He entered into a creative hiatus as he focused on touring between 2007 and 2010, releasing the albums ''Dangerous'' (2012) and ''HIStory'' (2017), before entering into relative abscence from public appearences.
 
Peiderezek released his landmark comeback album ''Thriller'' in 2025 as a collaborative album with artist Cali PESE, which became the best selling album globally of all time, in excess of 60 million copies having been sold in less than a year. Following the beginning of the 2nd Spring of Love in 2026, he entered into politics by entering into a surprise run for Yugim following the banning of the Ukilen Right, initially as an independent candidate but later as the candidate of the Peace in Ukilen Party, which he founded in May 2026. He was elected to the Yugimship in the July 2027 elections with 72.3% of the vote, becoming the first Azkali to serve as Yugim, and the first formerly enslaved person to hold a head of state position worldwide.
