Abraham Orellana (born June 16, 1989), better known by his stage name AraabMuzik (/ˈræbˌmjzɪk/ AY-rab-mew-zik; stylized as araabMUZIK), is an American record producer. He made a name for himself by performing beats and instrumentals live and in real time on a AkaiPro Music Production Center (MPC) drum machine. He uses MPC to produce rapid, rhythmic drum patterns and creates melodies with samples and other sounds.

Araabmuzik's musical style includes electronic dance music and hip-hop, with live elements making a significant contribution to his sound. He has performed on the electronic dance music festival circuit and other live club performances. Over the years, Araabmuzik has continued to build his fame through releasing solo instrumental projects, and producing for hip hop artists such as 50 Cent, Cardi B, Jay Electronica, Dave East, Cam'ron, ASAP Rocky, Fabolous, Kollegah and Joe Budden.

Orellana was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, into a musical household. His mother was a professional singer. He is the middle child of three and is of Dominican and Guatemalan ancestry. Orellana has said he learned to play the drums at age three and later began playing the keyboard.

Despite not being well known for it, Orellana found a lot of hip hop inspiration in his native home town of Providence. "There's definitely a lot of Hip-Hop here. You'll find a lot of local rap groups, solo artists out here that are trying make it, it's just the fact that we're not on the map like that just yet."

Having a musical background lead to Orellana to begin producing hip hop, and had begun getting traction in the industry at a very early age. Having a natural inkling towards the MPC, he went on to buy his first unit in 2005. By 2006, at age 17, he had begun being noticed by Diplomat Records.

After meeting with record producer and A&R of Diplomat Records, DukeDaGod in 2006, he became affiliated with the Dipset label. He began making beats for Diplomat artists such as Hell Rell and Cam'ron.

In 2009, AraabMuzik was featured as a main producer on rapper Cam'ron's album Crime Pays, producing the single "Get It in Ohio". From 2009 to 2010, he contributed many instrumentals to a series of mixtapes called Boss of All Bosses by Cam'ron and upcoming rapper Vado.

In 2010, The Diplomats released Dipset Trance Party, an instrumental mixtape featuring artists (including AraabMuzik) employing a style that melded trance music with hip hop influences. This would prove to become a large influence on AraabMuzik's future sound. His track "South Beach" sampled Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone", which AraabMuzik has said sparked his signature samples of electronic music.
