Adriana

Adriana is a Portuguese singer-songwriter from Lisbon. She begins music training early, studies classical flute performance, and moves to Paris to audition for a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston. She later graduates from Berklee summa cum laude at the age of 21, and develops skills in performance, songwriting, arranging, production and music business while working in the United States as a professional musician.

Her work spans Portuguese-language original songs, with occasional English, and draws on a wide range of styles including swing-jazz, pop, blues, funk, rock, latin and world music. She also works as an instrumentalist and producer. After a period of office work, she returns to songwriting, records a demo and signs with Universal Music for her debut release. Her performances are described as dynamic, and her profile emphasises her distinctive voice and stage presence.

The name Adriana also refers to several other artists, including Adriana Arydes, a Brazilian Catholic singer, Adriana Cordovez, Adriana Balint, a Romanian singer, and a Brazilian singer, but the Portuguese singer-songwriter from Lisbon is one of the artists identified under this name.

Adriana Balint

Adriana Balint is a Romanian singer from Iași, where she is born and raised. She starts writing songs for guitar and voice as a teenager and signs with The Phoenix Cultural Foundation at the age of 15. Her debut album, Altceva, is a success in Romania. Her second album, Mai aproape de cer, includes Catholic songs rearranged in her style, along with two new songs written by her. After a break from performing for about three years, she records Crede, a new track that marks a shift from Celtic pop towards pop-rock.
