Laurel K Adams

Special talents are easy to identify, and Laurel K Adams clearly has that flair.
She's gifted with a wonderful, distinctive voice, and has a style and charisma that is already very noticeable and will only get better with age.

The 19 year old has a professional dream that's somewhat unique in today's marketplace. Adams wants to be a jazz singer, striving to excel in a field where the criticism can be brutal, and newcomers are immediately subjected to comparisons that are often unfair and unjust. Still, Laurel K Adams has the potential to do what Norah Jones has done, broaden the horizons of audiences in regard to what constitutes a jazz vocalist. Adams, like Jones, continually shows that a softer, sensual delivery can not only work in the improvisational world, but be equally compelling and convincing. Hopefully, Adams will eventually enjoy the same success as Jones in winning over jazz critics while doing songs that reveal the influence of country, folk and pop.

In fact, Adams began working in pop/country, and has also dabbled in folk, theater, opera, and rock. Ultimately though, jazz has emerged as the idiom best suited to display her full range of talents. These include an energetic personality and natural charm, the ability to handle with ease any type of song from Broadway show tunes to a Carol King pop hit, and a timing and delivery that are precise and delightful. Adams is also a solid musician and songwriter, who’s played the piano and guitar for years.
