Artist Biography:
TheARTI$t creates music without borders. Prior to becoming one of the contemporary, new R&B artists that will redefine music in the next few years, she was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey. After graduating high school, TheARTI$t attended Essex County College to play basketball before making the tough decision to end her playing career after sustaining a shoulder injury. Soon enough, though, she dropped out to pursue a singing career, with “Sober” becoming her first hit immediately upon its release in 2023. The song catalyzed her rise to fame, and the buzz generated from the single traveled online. But before her viral success, TheARTI$t would record voice notes on her phone to capture song ideas. It took her a little while to find her footing in the music, but once she did, everything clicked. From that day forward, she decided to translate her personal experiences into musical compositions, partly as a cathartic process. This approach has earned TheARTI$t a dedicated global following, with her catalog amassing over 38 million streams to date. Along the way, she received co-signs from cultural heavyweights like Maxwell, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, Queen Latifah, and Raphael Saadiq to name a few. After releasing her debut indie album, ARTchives (2023), TheARTI$t continued fortifying her growing discography with a steady stream of singles – “You For Me,” “Love Somebody,” “Easy,” and of course, the expanded version of her highly-touted project, ARTchives: The Gallery (2024). As her prestige grew, so did the material, offering an unfiltered look at the artist in motion. TheARTI$t’s ability to explore themes of reflection, growth, and emotional clarity has helped crystallize her status as one of R&B’s promising up-and-comers. Who I Am (2025), a project inspired by staying true to yourself, consummated her rise even further. From concept to creation, TheARTI$t holds up a mirror to the artist behind the art, providing listeners with a deliberate kind of introspection that is palpable. With a tour slated to kick off this fall in support of her latest EP, TheARTI$t is looking forward to sharing her vision with a worldwide audience.
