Born and raised in San Antonio, music has played an integral part of Arispe’s life since he first picked up a guitar at age 15. What began as a hobby quickly evolved into a full-fledged passion, sparked by the performance of a classical guitarist on the campus of the University of Texas at San Antonio.  Soon after, he began to study Classical Guitar with Terry Muska at San Antonio College and The University of the Incarnate Word. In 2017 Arispe returned to college and graduated from Valley City State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music.


In 2005, Arispe began studying flamenco under Jose Perello, and subsequently learned the art from El Curro and Los Flamencos de San Antonio. He has played alongside many dance companies in the region including Los Flamencos de San Antonio, Los Flamencos de "La Chispa",  Fandango Dance Company of the City of San Antonio Parks and Recreation, Image Dance Studio, Fiesta Noche del Rio and Ballet Folklorico de San Antonio.
