Adelle

At first glance, you would never guess that Adelle would dream of becoming a singer because of the shy demeanor she holds steady around people. “I’ve always been the quiet type, but once you get to know me, it’s a whole other story!” It’s hard to believe that at a young age, she was the little girl with the unmistakable curly hair who sang Disney songs more than she played with Barbie. With the early influences of timeless R&B and catchy pop beats always streaming from her family’s stereo, it was too hard to deny the fact that music was going to play a huge role in her life. Even until now, singing is like second nature for Adelle. “Sometimes, I’ll just start singing without even noticing it, no matter where I am! I won’t realize it till my friends tell me to be quiet. (Laughs) Hey, I can’t help it!” Adelle did not consider pursuing a music career seriously until her junior year of high school, when she performed in public for the first time. “Until that point, I had just been singing on the phone and at family parties ever since the sixth grade.” Not only did music encourage Adelle to be more outgoing – it was the constant release and escape that she could rely on through the pains of heartbreak, lost loved ones and normal stresses of teenage life she had to deal with on a regular basis. Writing and dancing also heightened her passion for music – both of which she considers her favorite things to do. “Everything I do is inspired by personal experience – whether I’m coming up with lyrics for a song or choreographing a dance, I always try to convey a message without actually having to say it directly.” One thing about Adelle is that you will never see her without a notebook or her iPod – the two things she cannot leave the house without. “I always get amazed by the most random things. I’ll see something so simple and then turn it into a song. That’s the beauty of music for me.” When it comes to the idea of becoming famous, it’s a possibility that Adelle is willing to give a shot. “If the opportunity ever does come, then we’ll see what happens. I’m just having fun right now and still learning so much about the business, life, (recording equipment lol)…and myself. :] Honestly, I can’t see myself famous...I just feel like I’ll always be the same normal girl doing what she loves.” First and foremost, it will always be about God and the people who have supported her in making music. “It’s a rewarding experience making my family and friends proud. I just feel so blessed, knowing that I can express myself in a unique way.” Although she doesn’t know where she’s headed, in terms of the future and music, the one thing that remains is that she isn’t going to stop anytime soon. "So don’t get sick of me yet! xP"
