Adja

With a background in theater and jazz, and driven by a passion for R&B, soul, and gospel, Adja has developed a warm, rich, and organic musical style. She draws inspiration from D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Lauryn Hill. Her music has a delicate power and creates a rich and complex atmosphere. In 2022, Adja was named the winner of the Sound Track competition, and later that year, the newspaper De Morgen named her one of six promising Belgian musicians for 2023. Her music is prized for its spiritual neo-soul, reminiscent of Erykah Badu, and her velvety approach, reminiscent of Lianne La Havas.

In the spring, she released her debut album, Golden Retrieve Her, which was met with 5-star reviews. She worked with producer Adam Scrimshire. He is no stranger to the scene, having been named by The Guardian as one of the top three most influential soul producers in the UK alongside Swindle and Inflo. Also noteworthy is her collaboration with renowned Belgian producer, mixer, and musician Koen Gisen. These two heavyweights have helped her deepen her own production skills.

The album's first single, A Moment (December 2024), humorously addresses the desire to relax for a moment in a hectic world, while her second single, Sucking on My Empathies, captivates the audience with an explosion of energy. With Golden Retrieve Her, Adja shows that she not only has a powerful voice, but is also a force of nature who fuses her diverse talents into exciting live shows.
