Aricel LIVE at Ki Smith Gallery

In the diverse cultural fabric of Queens, New York, a rising star Aricel, has emerged from the borough's diverse cultural milieu. The 21-year-old artist has been singing since childhood, and her journey through the esteemed halls of LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts has cultivated a musicality that now takes center stage in her debut EP, "Genesis." With a thematic undercurrent of existential reflection and hopeful prose, Aricel's last project weaves a narrative that is as intimate as it is universal, taking on the mantle of vocal arrangement akin to the likes of Ariana Grande meets SZA. In Genesis, Aricel's lyrical finesse takes center stage, exploring the complexities of life while navigating towards the light.

Aricel is excited to be working on a dance pop, club, and experimental-inspired mixtape which she plans to release in early 2025, in addition to more music videos from her most recent project.
