Eria Marie Ahari: Blending Spiritual Depth with Musical Brilliance

Eria Marie Ahari is quickly becoming a standout in Atlanta’s music scene, but her impact goes beyond just her sound. As the third daughter of the Conjure Family, she carries the spiritual legacy of her mother, Lala Inuti Ahari, who built The Conjure, a multimillion-dollar spiritual empire. From a young age, Eria’s life has been filled with power, wisdom, and a deep connection to her ancestors. These roots are the heartbeat of her music, making her journey as an artist something special.

“My spiritual heritage has influenced my music in so many ways,” she says. “It’s pushed me to go deeper with my lyrics. I think that’s why people connect so strongly with my songs—it touches something real and emotional.” Her sound blends haunting melodies with uplifting energy, reflecting both her family’s spiritual influence and her personal truth. This authenticity sets her apart in an industry that often prioritizes image over depth.

Now pregnant with her first child, Eria is on the verge of a new chapter in her life. As she prepares for motherhood, her creativity is already shifting. “I’ve found a new kind of love, and it’s starting to brighten up my lyrics,” she says. “I find myself writing more about light, love, and positive energy. It’s amazing how much inspiration comes with this new journey.” While the baby hasn’t arrived yet, the anticipation is already making an impact on her music, bringing a fresh perspective while still exploring the deeper themes of life and spirit.
.
Balancing her spiritual practices with her music hasn’t been too difficult for Eria. “It’s not too hard,” she admits. “I plan everything around each other, and since I prefer my sessions at night, it’s easy to juggle both.” By keeping her spiritual routine at the core of her day-to-day life, Eria stays grounded while her artistry continues to grow.
.
Her experiences at global events like the Cannes Film Festival and Milan Fashion Week have also had a big impact on her. “Seeing all these stars and their styles made me realize I need to up my game,” she says with a laugh. These events didn’t just inspire her visually, they expanded her understanding of how art, fashion, and music work together. Eria is always learning, always growing, and it shows in every part of her work.
.
As she pours herself into new music, Eria’s style is evolving. “I’ve really been into pop beats lately,” she says, hinting at a more fun, upbeat direction. But even as her sound changes, her connection to her roots remains strong. “Staying involved in the family business, whether it’s working with my mom or doing my own work, keeps me grounded,” she explains. “I actually feel odd when I haven’t done anything in a while. I feel unproductive.”
..
.
At the end of the day, Eria’s goal is simple: she wants her music to inspire people to break out of their boxes. “I want to convey that you don’t have to be in a box. Put those feelings down on paper, scream on the track, do what helps you express yourself. There’s no limit on creativity.” With her unique blend of spiritual depth and personal authenticity, Eria Marie Ahari is carving out her own path—and she’s doing it on her own terms.

What has been the most challenging aspect of your journey so far? Spiritually the most challenging part is judgement of others. There’s so much Ignorance on those that are uneducated in this craft. Holding my tongue has been the most challenging especially when you come for my mom. Mother wise the most challenging thing would just be preparing. This has been a wild ride emotionally and physically but I know I’m gonna be a superb mom.
