On this episode VibeQueen gets to know Artist Ahri Banks. They talk about meditation, how to practice self care and difficult conversations Ahri has had to face during these challenging times. Though her heritage is from the Caribbean, Ahri Banks (AB) born Ahriel Mullings in 1992, was raised on the northside of Chicago. Music has always been a part of Ahri’s life; from her family being full of singers, and being a part of the Chicago Children's Choir for 10 years, to finally attending college to study music. While studying at NEIU, Ahri graduated with a BA in Vocal Performance and a Minor in Dance.
Over the years Ahri learned to take certain elements of music and the arts to create them into her own songwriting. While in her early 20s, Ahri added another layer of talent by being a freelance Chicago model for four years. “Even though I'm a solo artist, I've always been interested in modeling. When I was younger my mom always had me participate in local fashion shows and casting calls” - AB.
Some of her accomplishments while modeling has been walking in Spring 2018 NYFW for Runwayz on Fire, and being featured as a Published Model, in SapphirEmerld Magazine Spring 2018 edition. “My biggest goal in life is to inspire all creative individuals to find their life balance (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) while being intertwined within music and the arts.
Finding the balance in life can be hard but I truly believe through prayer, meditation, self-care/love, mindful thinking combined they can help you to be aligned with yourself and the universe. To find your life balance you have to first start with your inner self and work outwards. This process is long and tedious but it's worth it because once you find yourself, you'll be able to know which opportunities are made for you”. -AB
