Ari Lennox at The Wiltern

Unprecedented singer-songwriter Ari Lennox has been making some noise since her debut in 2012. Her soulful voice has garnered a massive following since her independently released mixtape, Five Finger Discount. In 2015, she self-released the critically-acclaimed single “Bound,” followed by “Sweat It Out” one year later. Her music circulated the music scene and caught the attention of rapper and producer J. Cole.

In 2015, Lennox was signed to Dreamville Records, and she released a couple of EPs followed by a guest appearance in J.Cole’s single, “Change.” Two years later, Lennox performed as a support act in J.Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only Tour. The same year, she recorded a song called “Backseat,” featured in the Grammy-nominated rap album, Revenge of the Dreamers II.

Four years after signing with Dreamville, Lennox finally released her debut album, Shea Butter Baby. The album peaked at number 7 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums and entered the Billboard 200 at number 67. Shea Butter Baby spawned hits “Whipped Cream” and the platinum-selling title track, which later earned gold status in the U.S.

In 2022, Lennox dropped her sophomore effort, Age/Sex/Location. The album debuted at number 69 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at 13 on the Top R&B Albums chart. She recently made a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she sang “POF” and “Waste My Time.” The 2023 tour will send the Grammy-nominated singer across 27 cities in North America. She will also have a two-night run in Los Angeles. Tickets to see Ari Lennox at the Wiltern on Saturday 4th, February 2023, are now available!
