About Adele

Known For: Singer/Songwriter

Adele loved singing and performing from an early age. As a child, she would mimic the musicians she admired, copying their moves and belting out their lyrics. Her plan though was not to become an artist herself, but to help others launch their own careers within the music business. However, fate stepped in the way.

As part of a class project, Adele recorded a demo consisting of three songs. When it was no longer needed she gave it to a friend who posted it onto MySpace. The songs became popular and soon she was contacted by XL Recordings and they offered her a recording contract. Her first single, ''Hometown Glory'' was released in October of 2007.

Adele released her debut album, '19,' on January 14, 2008 and it opened at No. 1 on the British charts. Her American success came a few months later when she performed on the popular improve comedy show 'Saturday Night Live.' The guest that night was Sarah Palin which drew 17 million viewers. The massive exposure caused Adele's album sales to skyrocket.

In 2009, Adele won a Grammy for Best New Artist and in 2010, she won for Best Female Vocal Performance. She has also won Best Jazz Act from the Urban Music Awards and the British Critic's Choice Award.

On February 22, 2011, Adele released he second album '21.'
