About Me

Arsenio Di Donato

My name is Arsenio Di Donato — though some still know me as Andy Karsai. I was born in Hungary, where history hangs in the air like paprika smoke and rebellion runs in the blood. These days, I live in the UK, somewhere between solitude and signal strength.

My life hasn’t followed a straight line. It’s been more of a zigzag through six countries, over fifty moves, and countless moments of wondering whether I belong anywhere — or maybe everywhere at once. I’ve lived in the USA, Denmark, Canada, Mexico, and Hungary. Each place left a mark; none fully claimed me.

I’m a writer, philosopher, songwriter, music editor, and producer. I build things from silence: books, beats, thoughts that cut through noise. I don’t care much for trends or approval — I care about truth. Whether it’s in a paragraph or a melody, I’m trying to get closer to something real.

I’m autistic. I have agoraphobia. Those aren’t labels — they’re lenses. They shape how I see the world: with intensity, clarity, and sometimes too much detail. But they’ve also given me gifts — deep pattern recognition, an ability to hyperfocus, and a refusal to conform just for comfort’s sake.

If you’re reading my work, you’re not just getting stories or songs — you’re stepping into a world built on perspective. My perspective. It’s wired differently. It questions everything. It doesn’t let go until the truth shows up.

I write because I have to. I make music because words aren’t always enough. And I share it because, once in a while, someone out there reads or hears something I’ve made and thinks, “Finally. Someone said it.”

That’s why I’m here.
