Adia Vanheerentals Solo

Adia pushes the boundaries of musical experience in various contexts. With her trio Bodem (featuring Willem Malfliet on guitar and Anke Verslype on drums), she brings a blend of melodic energy, summery atmospheres, and creative improvisation. Bodem has released two albums so far: Kleine Mars in 2023 and Lush and Alive in 2025 (both on Mokuhi Sonorities, BE).

In addition, Adia is active as a solo musician. With the album Here Are 5 Reasons To Meditate (Ultra Eczema, BE, 2024) and the upcoming Taking Place (Relative Pitch Records, US, 2025), she presents inventive pieces that strip the saxophone sound down to its finest details, explore new techniques, and incorporate environmental sounds.

Adia’s unmistakable talent and innovative spirit were also recognized by Klara, which included her in De Twintigers in 2024 — a selection of tomorrow’s young musicians — offering her a national platform.
