Biografia De Adele

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins

Was born on May 5, 1988, in North London, England. She was the only child of Penny Adkins, an "arty mom" who was just 18 at the time of her birth, and a Welsh father, Mark, who left the family when Adele was only 4 years old.

Early on, Adele developed a passion for music. She gravitated toward the songs of Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child and Mary J. Blige. But her true, eye-opening moment came when she was 15, and she was listening to music that had been made in the 40s.

Her mother enrolled her in the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology, which counts Amy Winehouse as an alum. In November 2006, just four months after Adele had graduated school, signed her to a record deal.

Adele's debut album, 19, which is named for the singer's age when she began recording it, hit record stores in early 2008. Led by two popular lead singles, "Hometown Glory" and "Chasing Pavements,".

In 2012, Adele swept the Grammy Awards for 21, her second album, taking home six wins, including Album of the Year. In 2013, Adele won her seventh Grammy for her hit single "Set Fire to the Rain." That same year, the singer won an Academy Award for best original song for "Skyfall," the theme song for the 2013 James Bond film of the same name. She also won a Golden Globe Award for the song.
