Kristel Adams
Born from a Vietnamese mother and a West Indies originated father, Kristel Adams is like her native town, Marseilles, a black diamond with many facets. The day she was born, the good fairies generously gave her a warm, imperious voice, that can convey despair or comfort, a precious gift that God reserves for those with a role to gather together.
(Sow the seeds of love to harvest happiness.) Thanks to all these assets, Kristel embodies plurality and multiculturalism.
Quite naturally, her origins led her towards rhythm and blues, gospel music, African and oriental, and, of course, all styles inspired by Negro spirituals such as jazz, country, and the mythical comedy musicals. (In a word, Kristel sees herself as a leader of a kind of “modern fusion” at the heart of new tendencies.)
Her favourite artists : Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Donnie Hathaway, Goerge Benson.
Since soul music and gospel in particular suit her tone of voice, her wide range of musical tastes include the immense artistic references of French music such as Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour and, especially Edith Piaf.
Kristel Adams reveals today a new side of her sparkling talent with a tribute show to France’s biggest Icon, Edith Piaf, which she interprets with simplicity and respect. She is currently performing on the most prestigious sail ship cruisers of the world, the “Club Med 2”. She performed a wonderfully tribute to Aretha Franklin at the Jazz Club Lionel Hampton In Paris
