In 1987 ADR started music at age 7, at the local music school (Conservatoire de Musique) in Luxembourg, where she gained most of her musical knowledge (ear training, harmony, music theory and singing). By 1983 she had already approached music through classical dance classes, when she was 3, which she continued until 1991. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While pursuing her music education, ADR started playing harp at the same music school, when she was 8. In Fall 1996, she also joined a local harp quartet in Luxembourg.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During her high school years, ADR widened her music education with traditional harmony, contemporary dance and classical singing classes. She is also a self- taught pianist, skill she mainly used for practicing her other musical subjects. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During all her childhood and her teenage years, ADR concentrated on studying classical music and playing harp; nonetheless when she discovered popular music (particularly Soul and R&B), around the age of 14, she understood she wanted to pursue that path instead. On another instrument: voice. This was confirmed in 1998, a year after she graduated from high school, when she came to Berklee College of Music for the 5 weeks Summer Performance Program, as a vocalist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Despite her musical aspirations, she had to put them aside to focus on her studies in the field of psychology, for which she earned a Master’s Degree at Padova University, in Italy. All the while through her psychology curriculum, she attended many musical events (concerts, Hip- Hop dance shows, break dance and DJ’s battles), keeping an attentive eye on the music industry, both North American and European, eager to widen and deepen her musical culture.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the summer of 2006, ADR took part in the 12 weeks Full Credit Program at Berklee College of Music and became a full time student in May 2007. She is majoring in Professional Music, concentrating on performance and music production.
