About Me


Adrienne Nadeau was born with ink running through her veins and it is rumored that her first words were poetry. In June 2004 she went to her first spoken word show and hasn’t gotten off the stage since. She uses her creative talents to explore her religious background, speak about women’s rights and vent about her ex boyfriends.
Now, you can find her as a regular performer at many diverse poetry venues around Tampa, including Resurrection @ the Lobby, Straight Loca Presents & Lyrical Aspirations. Adrienne has been honored as a feature at several events, including Say What? A Spoken Word Event, Poetic Mayhem: Fall Fury, Oktoberfest @ USF, Black on Black's All*Star Poetry Slam, Tampa Museum of Art “Art After Dark”, Gecko Fest, Poetry Izand has won many slams and competitions including the annual Quilt Poetry Slam two years in a row, University of Tampa’s Apollo Night, Bombshell Gallery’s Poetry Slam & placed 2nd in the Tampa Bay Writer's Alliance Poetry Contest.
March 5, 2008 was the official release date of THE WARRIOR WOMAN. With over 23 tracks and a full hour of spoken word, this collection is the result of 3 years of growth as a poet and a performer.
