Victor Arden (1893-1962) was co-leader with Phil Ohman (1896-1954) of Arden-Ohman Orchestra in the 1920s and 1930s. Arden attended American Conservatory of Music. After World War One Arden went to New York and made piano rolls and teamed up with Phil Ohman to form a piano duo on records and Broadway musicals: "Lady Be Good" (1924) , "Tip Toes" and "Oh Kay" (1926), "Funny Face" (1927) and "Spring is Here" (1929). As piano duo they appeared on radio from the late 1920s to mid 1930s as guests and as regulars on American Album of Familiar Music, 1934-35 and Bayer Musical Review, 1935. They recorded with a large orchestra featuring good arrangements of show tunes. In the mid 1930s the duo split up, each leading his own orchestra. Arden turned to conducting studio orchestras on network radio into the 1940s.
Phil Ohman began his career in the early 1920s as a pianist-organist. He was with Paul Whiteman (1922-23) before teaming with Arden. After the duo split, Ohman worked in Hollywood as movie writer and did radio work. He led his own band in the 1930s and 1940s and was active into the 1950s. He was also active as a composer and song writer.
