Since the runaway success of her 1990 debut album Circle of One, and the impassioned hit single "Get Here,"
Oleta Adams has inspired a growing legion of fans with songs that draw deeply from her roots in gospel, while crossing effortlessly into the realms of soul, R&B, urban, and popular music. Her success has been solidified by four Grammy nominations and a seemingly bottomless well of creative energy.
A long-time resident of Kansas City, Kansas, Oleta spent her formative years in Seattle and Yakima, Washington. She first demonstrated her budding vocal gifts in the church where her father served as minister. By the time Oleta was eleven, she was directing and accompanying four choirs, having already established herself as a piano prodigy.
Turning down the chance to pursue an operatic career as a lyric soprano, Oleta instead headed to Los Angeles in the early 1970's. One demo tape later, she discovered that the disco movement had deafened music executives to her style. With the help of Coach Lee Farrell, she wound up in Kansas City, where she launched her career playing piano bars, hotel lounges and showrooms and quickly became a local institution Celebrities from every musical genre caught her act, including the British band, Tears for Fears, who asked her to appear on their "The Seeds of Love'" album, video and European tour.
With eight CDs, including secular, gospel, a Christmas album, worldwide acclaim and over two-and a-half million albums sold, Oleta's musical odyssey continues - spiritually and creatively. She will be adding to her musical legacy with the release of a new secular album, Let's Stay Here, on April 21st. Oleta produced this album herself in addition to writing eight of the ten songs.
