Singer Adele is a Grammy Award-winning artist whose throwback, soulful sound has made her an
international success.
“As soon as I got a microphone in my hand, when I was about 14, I realised I wanted to do this,”
says Adele.
Adele wasn't a match for regular classroom work. So, her mother enrolled her in the BRIT, a free
school for the performing arts.
Her debut album was about being between 18 and 19. It was about love and quite a sad album.
Adele really likes poetry, she says she isn’t very good at reading it but she loves writing it.
In 2012, Adele swept the Grammy Awards, taking home six wins, including Album of the Year.
In 2013, Adele won her seventh Grammy and won an Academy Award for best original song for
"Skyfall”. She also won a Golden Globe Award for the song.
In 2014, Adele was nominated for nine World Music Awards.
Thus, from a little fan of Jill Scott and Etta James Adele has become one of the world’s famous and
best singers.
