Artist Bio:
With a voice that seamlessly captures intimacy and intensity, ADALINE'S compelling piano compositions, vulnerable lyrics, and haunting melodies have been seducing audiences since 2005.
From pulsing rock, to cabaret, to orchestral ballads, ADALINE creates meticulously crafted soundscapes where brass, strings, and vibraphone meet electric guitars and programmed percussion. Classical and pop sensibilities produce soundtracks that are both artistic and accessible.
