India Arie

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.

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.

She didn’t take music seriously until after high school, when she began playing guitar.
