India Arie

Singer/Songwriter A Grammy-winning songstress who’s hit single “Brown Skin” became a heartfelt anthem for brown-skinned sistas everywhere, India Arie is one of the towering figures of neo-soul. After being discovered singing second-stage at 1998’s Lilith Fair, the Atlanta-raised singer was signed to Motown by Kedar Massenberg.

And fans continuously followed along, sending India’s sophomore LP, Voyage to India, platinum and Testimony, Vol. 1: Life & Relationship gold.
