Adele is an extremely talented performer who has been on the music charts for the last few years, and nearly every time she performs live it takes our breath away. Let’s spend today getting to know her more.

She came into this world in May of 1988 as Adele Laurie Blue Adkins. For schooling she attended the Britt School for the Performing Arts and Technology where as luck would have it was classmates of Leona Lewis and Jessie J.

Adele credits the work of Etta James, the Spice Girls, and Ella Fitzgerald as early influences in the way she thinks about music and the way she performs onstage. If you harken back to these soul singers you’ll hear that Adele seems to channel both Etta and Ella in her style.

This incredible singer is in the Guinness Book of Records for being the first woman to have three simultaneous top 10 singles, two albums in the top five, two singles in the top five in Britain’s Hot 100, plus the most YouTube views for a single (“Hello”).
