Gilford Girl: Adele's Humble Beginnings
Born in the small town of Gilford, England, on May 5, 1988, Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, or simply Adele, was raised by her single mother, Penny, after her father left when she was just two years old. Growing up, Adele was surrounded by music, with her mother playing records by the likes of Etta James and Dusty Springfield. Little did they know, this would be the spark that would ignite Adele's passion for music.
Adele attended the BRIT School, a performing arts academy, where she began to nurture her talent. Here, she started to find her voice, both literally and figuratively. She began to write her own songs, pouring her heart and soul into each lyric. Her classmates remember her as a shy girl with a powerful voice that could silence a room.

Her debut album, '19', was released in 2008, named after her age at the time of writing. The album was a smash hit, with singles like 'Chasing Pavements' and 'Cold Shoulder' topping the charts.
