He was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 1, 1952 and is married to Diane Arkenstone, who is also a musician. He has three children - Quillon, Dashiell and Valinor. After moving from Chicago to California at the age of ten, he was involved in various high school bands playing guitars and keyboards, whilst also playing baseball in his spare time. He studied music in college and started a progressive rock band named after himself, but he soon discovered the music of Kitaro and was heavily influenced by it. Arkenstone was influenced by writers such as J. R. R. Tolkien and Ian Fleming, and grew up listening to bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Deep Purple and Yes, as well as listening to classical music.
