The Delicious Alaena Adams

About Me

Alaena Adams of Nigerian and Portuguese parents has been working on her craft for many years and worked with some of the best musicians in London.....
As well as working the jazz supper clubs and high profile coroprate functions in Londons cafe society.
As a creative artist, her persutes now involve visual arts/design and her writtings on the "Human Condition".
Her Love of music offers her a wonderful template to express her inner and outer experience, using her voice more organically including spoken word. This naturally created a bitter sweet rapsody that is simply irriestable.(If thats your flavour!)
Alaena has found solice in her music and has served as a healing tool for herself and others....Working organically and faciltating Music Therapy Work Shops for people with terminal/chronic illness - discovering that not only is music Universal but also moves the soul in ways that manifest instant healing.
Alaena's spiritual journey is very significant to her personal growth and she created a space called : Sacred Whisper found on

Over resent years she has worked with a few chosen people who she has connected with - And now has some high profile up and coming Gigs........
INTRODUCING THE DELICIOUS "ALAENA ADAMS"
SOUL SIREN FOR THE MILLENIUM..!
If you’ve been lucky enough to wander into some of the best dinner jazz venues in London’s café society, you will no doubt have encountered the sensuous singing of Alaena Adams. Her vocal tones as richly cappuccino as those of her skin.
The beauty of Dorothy Dandridge and the fresh effervescence of a young Josephine Baker springs to mind, her voice an enchanting blend of Billie and Barbra.
All the best standards are there, interpreted with a warmth and invitation that’s both exiting and lets face it, Just plain sexy.
There are originals too, elegantly crafted new numbers and whether its Jazz or Soul, this chanteuse for 'the noughties' delivers with class.
So, I’m praising her singing, go and see her and I’m sure you’ll sing her praises.
