Mini bio
How it started.
Adele grew up in London and graduated from the BRIT School in 2006. Songs posted to Myspace brought her to the attention of XL Recordings, where she signed her first record deal. Her debut album, 19, arrived in 2008, followed by Grammy wins for Best New Artist and “Chasing Pavements” in 2009.
The songs that travelled.
Her second album, 21, became her first US number-one album, with “Rolling in the Deep” helping establish her international audience. She followed it with 25 in 2015 and 30 in 2021. Alongside those albums, she co-wrote and sang the James Bond theme “Skyfall” with Paul Epworth, winning an Oscar in 2013.
Sharing the room.
Her live chapter included Weekends With Adele in Las Vegas and ten open-air shows in Munich. At the Vegas finale in November 2024, she explained that a residency had helped her keep her son’s life normal. In November 2025, her casting in Tom Ford’s Cry to Heaven opened a new chapter in film.
