Representing Washington, D.C., Ari Lennox who was really born as Courtney Shanade Salter, made her first moves as an artist during the first half of the 2010s with her mixtape, the Ariography EP, tracks like “Bound” — all of them she sent into the musical realm from 2012 through 2014.
An honest songwriter and understated vocalist who has spoken of the musical inspirations she related to by the likes of Minnie Riperton and Mýa, Ari Lennox has been taken under the wing of R&B/Hip-hop rapper J. Cole’s on the Dreamville roster since 2015. The singer and songwriter made her presence known with the help of the label in 2016 featuring her Pho EP, followed by her first album, Shea Butter Baby (2019), which rocketed to number seven on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart. She took part in Dreamville’s Revenge of the Dreamers III compilation and released a remix EP before she achieved a number one hit on the Adult R&B Songs chart with the single, “Pressure.” That same single pointed to the 2022 destination of her second album, age/sex/location.
