Enoch Armani Tolbert (born September 25, 1996),[4] known professionally as Armani White, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. His 2022 single "Billie Eilish" peaked at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100, and spawned a remix featuring rappers Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, and N.O.R.E.[5] Prior to this, White was signed to Def Jam Recordings.

Early life

[edit]

During his childhood, White was surrounded by a family that played music which drew his attention towards a career in the music industry. He started rapping in the second grade.[6]

He attended Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter School and later graduated from Smyrna High School in Delaware. Afterward, he enrolled in Rutgers University and later Delaware State University.[7][8]

Career

[edit]

White released his debut album Keep in Touch in 2019, which he says was inspired from the time spent with his late father.[3][9]

He released an extended play entitled Things We Lost in the Fire on September 10, 2021.[10]

On May 5, 2023, he released his major label debut EP, Road to Casablanco, after signing to Def Jam Recordings. The project featured his song "Billie Eilish" as well as a remix featuring Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, and N.O.R.E., alongside seven other tracks.[11]

White is a U.S. Global Music Ambassador, part of a diplomacy program run by the U.S. Department of State.[12][13]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2016, White's father, Lee Tolbert, was diagnosed with prostate cancer.[7] He died the same year.[14]

In 2019, White and his brother were arrested for arson after a house fire erupted in their home in Philadelphia. They were sent to jail in early 2020. They were both released within a few months after the charges were dropped. The situation inspired White’s song “Letter from Jail (Freeblanco)” as well as his EP Things We Lost in the Fire.[15][16]
