When it comes to a discovery tale, they don’t come much more dramatic than that of Ari O’Neal. The Maryland guitarist got plucked from Instagram to play with Beyoncé for her landmark 2018 Coachella show. From that point on, O’Neal has been on a musical adventure, accompanying the likes of Lizzo, Alicia Keyes, and SZA.

Ari began playing guitar at 10-years-old. By the time she was 16, she was attending the Julliard summer and jazz program and graduating from high school. At the same time, she began studying theatre at community college and once completed, continued studying at the University of Maryland College Park.
