She was invited to play at the Lilith Fair in 1998-the same year that Lauryn Hill released her smash solo debut-and Motown signed her soon after, no doubt eager to mimic Hill’s success. With her acoustic sound and preternaturally warm and welcoming voice, Arie quickly found community in the Groovement art collective in the 1990s. She didn’t take music seriously until after high school, when she began playing guitar. Born India Arie Simpson in Denver in 1975, Arie lived there until her parents divorced she moved to Atlanta with her mother at age 13. India.Arie is not only a singer/songwriter in the vein of ’70s heroes like Bill Withers and Roberta Flack but also a spiritual seeker who invites fans along on her healing journeys, and it’s this balance between self-revelation and artistry that has won her a devoted following.
