Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham, a neighborhood north of London, England. Her mother, Penny Adkins, was barely 18 when she gave birth to her. She was a brave, hard-working, and unpretentious young woman who decided to raise her daughter alone after her early separation from Adele's father, Mark Evans, a Welshman with serious alcohol problems. Mark left home shortly after Adele's birth, leaving an emotional wound that would deeply mark his daughter's life and writing.
From a very young age, Adele found solace in music. She didn't have expensive toys or a big house, but she had a mother who played Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and Roberta Flack while she cooked or cleaned the house. Adele grew up surrounded by the voices of women who sang with their souls, those who weren't afraid to show their pain and passion. Her mother, despite her financial limitations, fostered her love of music from the age of three.
There were no luxuries at home. They lived in different poor neighborhoods of London: first in Tottenham, then in Brixton, and later in West Norwood. Each move was a result of Penny's low income and seasonal jobs. Adele wasn't a particularly studious or athletic child, but she showed an obvious talent for music. By the age of four, she could already sing entire songs with perfect intonation. She was able to imitate the great soul divas with astonishing ease. On one occasion, her mother recalls catching her singing Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman," not even knowing what the words meant, but filled with heartbreaking emotion.
As Adele grew, so did her relationship with music. At age 9, she began writing short lyrics in her notebooks, some of them inspired by her father's absence. Her relationship with Mark Evans grew increasingly distant. He tried sporadically to reach out, but his alcohol addiction and unstable personality caused more pain than relief. Adele publicly rejected him years later.
When she was 14, her life took a radical turn when she enrolled at the British School of Performing Arts and Technology, a specialized school that also taught talents such as Amy Winehouse and Jessie J. There, Adele flourished. It was an environment where creativity was celebrated, not stifled. Although she remained insecure about her physical appearance, she found a strength in music that no one could take away from her. It was during this time that she first encountered artists like Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, and Destiny's Child, all of whom would later influence her style. She also discovered her obsession with 1960s soul, especially Dusty Springfield and The Carpenters. She began experimenting with her voice, writing songs, and recording demos with the help of her colleagues.
One of those demos was posted on MySpace by a friend without her knowledge. This fortuitous action sparked interest in her, drawing her to an audition in 2006, when Adele was just 18 years old. That meeting changed her life.
Adele signed with XL Recordings in 2006 and began working on her debut album, titled "19," after her age when she wrote it. At the time, she was still living with her mother and used public transportation to get to the studio. The album was released in January 2008 and was an instant hit in the UK. Her first single, “Chasing Pavements,” became an anthem of teenage heartbreak.
Critics praised her vocal maturity, and her debut album reached number one in the UK, selling over 2 million copies. She was awarded the Brit Award for Critics' Choice and two Grammys in 2009: Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Despite her success, Adele was uncomfortable with fame. She refused to move to Los Angeles, preferred London pubs to red carpets, and instead of expensive stylists, she relied on her mother's advice on how to dress.
In 2009, Adele experienced an intense relationship that ended abruptly. At 21, devastated, she turned to music to heal her heart. The result was her second album, “21,” released in January 2011. This is where she cemented herself as a global artist.
Songs like “Rolling in the Deep,” “Someone Like You,” and “Set Fire to the Rain” became worldwide hits.
