Adriana Miki

Music has been part of my soul since before I could walk…

As a child playing under the stairs…it would be all around me…adding tone and colour to my world…making my heart beat faster…I’ve never really understood that sensation…Music, forever my companion…

Time passed and I grew up…during my whole life I had music as part of every moment.in my happiness…my fears…my passions…my solitude…and I sang…always singing.

But it was always just for me….I think deep down I had a fear of the powerful emotion that singing stirred in me…it would take hold of me and give me the strength to overcome any sadness.

And so I continued like this for a long time…singing for myself…I crossed oceans…and eventually couldn’t run any longer from that which I truly desired.

Couldn’t deny any longer that which I truly am

And so I decided to express singing all that is inside of me.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------".All those feelings and moods that first moved Adriana to sing – the happiness, the fears, the passions, the solitude – are evident on this, her debut recording. Her voice is a charming and evocative sound-palette of warm tones and pastel colors. This is a bold and revealing venture, rooted in the traditions of Brazilian jazz, the samba, and the bossa nova, informed by elements of World Music, forward looking, and intensely personal."
