British-born singer songwriter Adele Harley studied music from the age of five. As well as singing she plays violin, flute, piano and guitar and over the years has performed in numerous bands including a three year residency at the legendary Leeds club ‘The Underground’ alongside Corrine Bailey Rae.

Her love of reggae music led her to work as a session vocalist for local reggae artists and has seen her perform at both the Leeds and London Carnivals. Adele has also toured Europe as a session singer opening up shows for artistes such as Betty Wright.

Adele has often been compared to such greats as Marcia Griffiths and Janet Kay though she is a successful artist in her own right having just released her stunning debut album ‘COME INTO MY LIFE’ (Autumn 2010) which was produced by the UK’s highly acclaimed Mafia & Fluxy.

The partnership with Mafia & Fluxy has also seen Adele’s songs feature on the compilation albums R&B to REGGAE, STRICTLY VOCALS, STRICTLY LOVERS ROCK and STRICKLY ONE DROP and on the JA to UK album alongside artists such as Richie Spice, Turbulence and Gyptian.

Adele’s singles ‘It’s not the same’ and ‘I can’t make you love me’ have also been released on JAH BLESS (Pickout Records), Lloyd Campbell’s Joe Frasier (VP) Records and the R&B HITS REGGAE STYLE compilations

Adele has just returned from Jamaica where she’s been recording with the iconic Rory from STONELOVE. As many UK artists know too well, breaking America and Jamaica is quite a task in itself but Adele is rapidly building up a fan base in both countries and will be returning to the home of reggae in the coming months for more recording.

With some very exciting collaborations already in the pipeline, 2011 looks to be a very exciting year for Adele.
