A. I’m ADREANA, the storytelling singer songwriter, the revamp of R&B. The southern belle next door. I’m straight from Louisiana, bringing you the energetic deliveries & addictive cadences.
I’m a Dreamer. I’m a creative and executor. So that’s what I DO. I dream, I create what I’ve dreamt, & then execute what I’ve created. & I’m literally living my passion right now.
Q. What first got you into music?
A. What first got me into music was of course my undeniable ability to sing. I developed a flawless attempt at composing statements and Melodies due to my love for figurative language & literature. So, I kind of grew this special connection with concepts & started to create my own songs & it opened up the door for me to do this.
Q. Who are some of your musical influencers who inspired you in your career?
A. This is a lengthy question due to
me having so many. Some of my musical influences, for starters, were artist like Nivea, Jojo, Chris brown, Beyoncé of course, Eric Benet, & Prince. I had a huge thing for Jessica Simpson & Green Day too. Weird range of interest during middle school Lol. As I got older, I gravitated towards Rihanna, Erykah Badu, Ne-Yo, Monica, Kem, Frank Ocean & Drake. Now I’m obsessed with sounds like Summer Walker, MOONCHILD, RuPaul, Ty Dolla $ign, Doja Cat, Lucky Daye & Jasmine Sullivan. It’s probably tons more. But I’ve been infatuated with these artist over different musical periods of my life & I’m sure it’ll change again as music progresses.
Q. Let’s talk about your single and the motivation behind the song?
A. My single is “Lucky 4 You”, releasing March 17, 2022. It’s an interesting story but I’ll keep it short. I actually was involved with a guy for about 2 years. I allowed my feelings to grow based off of our conversations & actions with one another & he started to switch up on me & kind of gaslight & string me along a little bit. So, I eventually got to a mentally & far enough emotional space to realize that he was getting complacent & wasn’t going to really adapt to who & what I would need on my end for us to become solidified & I started to get angry just at all the time, effort, energy ,emotion support etc.… So, I removed myself before things got too serious to disconnect from. So that’s how Lucky 4 You came about.
Q. How would you describe the music that you typically create?
A. Typically, I create music of experience & journey. It always has to feel good lyrically & it’s got to take your soul on a ride through the beat. My music is always beat & cadence heavy. I’m a stickler for deliveries & how I place my words on the song. When I write, I usual look for words that create my story. There’s something so beautiful about words to me… they can be so safe & so dangerous at the same time, & it’s one of the very few things I love about the English language lol … how words CAN be used. So, I keep that in mind when I’m creating music. That’s how I’m able to pull a person in to my stories. That’s how we share feelings… strategic emotions!
Q. If you could open a show for any artists, who would it be?
A. If I could open a show for any artist, it would be Beyoncé, Janet Jackson or The Rolling Stones. I want those crowds!! I think I’d be able to entertain them for a lengthy period of time with some of the music in my catalog of music. They’ve had some of the largest crowds known to man, to date.
Q. Where do you see yourself in the next three years?
A. In the next 3 years I see myself looking at the world watch me. I’ve dreamed of my next level of life & I’ve already started adding to the plans I created years ago. I’m infatuated with elevating in my passion & purpose. I know I was made & created to entertain, to be a sense of escape for people… if only for a night in person or all night on repeat. So, tap in & stay tuned.
Q. If you could go anywhere in the world and perform, where would it be?
A. If I could go anywhere in the world & perform, it would be in Moscow or London, where some of the largest concerts have taken place. It seems the support of great music is impeccable there due to the turnouts.
Q. Are you working on any new projects or upcoming events?
A. I’m working on tons of projects & plans. The main one being the push & release of my upcoming EP, then the single that will come from it. Videos are coming out during that same time that I can’t wait to share. Tons of content will be released for my followers & fans… & then the events!!!!! I’m booked with tons of events & performances up to October already. So, I’m extremely excited about that. My team, my managers, they are always working to make sure we stay in front of the people.
