I had the pleasure of working with AdaolaSings on Wednesday, December 25th, 2025, at the Sofitel Philadelphia's Christmas event. This venue is one of Philadelphia's premiere hotels and I wanted to make a strong impression with my band. I hired AdaolaSings to be the guest vocalist for the performance.
Throughout the preparation phase for the event, AdaolaSings demonstrated the utmost professionalism and thoughtfulness. She worked one-on-one with me to develop a performance set list for the event that was tailored to the client's vision and the overall vibe of the venue.
As soon as AdaolaSings entered the venue, she exuded excellence. She arrived hours prior to the call time for the event and even helped some of the band members load in. She demonstrated professionalism and was very sociable, greeting both the clients, band members, and hotel guests/attendees with kindness and respect.
The pinnacle of the event was during the performance when AdaolaSings sang her first note on the microphone for "The Christmas Song" by Donny Hathaway. The whole room was in awe and impressed by her vocal tone, dynamic control, commanding stage presence.
Her confidence in her vocal abilities, genre flexibility, and audience interactions were very moving and inspired me and the band to follow in her footsteps to carry out an unforgettable performance. It truly felt like we were backing up a vocal legend.
AdaolaSings vocal performances truly transcend reality by taking listeners on a sonic journey, enabling them to feel peace of mind and move to the groove. By the end of the performance, the client, venue staff, and hotel guests were raving about her impeccable performance.
I will definitely be calling AdaolaSings for future events. She is now my go-to vocalist for high-end occasions!

Whether you need a singer for a cocktail hour, a wedding singer, or a choir member, AdaolaSings can help achieve your event vision.
Born in Austin, Texas and raised in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, Adaola is proving that she is a vocal chameleon who has been inspired by Baroque, Opera, Gospel, Soft Rock, Jazz, R&B, and Neo-Soul since childhood. Her musical journey began as a toddler when she would mimic the vocal stylings of her favorite artists on the radio.
Adaola sang as a Soprano in her school choir from elementary school through high school. She also participated in school plays, most notably performing as Aunt Em in her high school’s theatrical adaptation of the Broadway musical of The Wiz. Adaola was a member of a 32-member choral group called the Encore Singers at Upper Darby High School, as well as a section leader in their 180-member Concert Choir. She also sang as a cantor for Saint Alice Catholic Church from 2004 to 2009, Penn State Catholic Campus Ministry from 2009 to 2013, and Saint Laurence Catholic Church from 2015 to 2020. One of her most notable performances to date was a cover of Josh Groban and Charlotte Church’s “The Prayer” for the Saint Laurence Catholic Church Centennial Celebration in 2017 at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center which received a standing ovation from the audience.
In 2021, Adaola took her artistry to a higher level by creating a song cover YouTube channel which now has over 120, 000 views and over 600 videos. Her diverse array of song covers has been reposted on Instagram by artists and producers such as Jimmy Jam, The Wailers, Kent Jones, Charlie Wilson, Neelam, Lion Babe, Legundury Beatz, Rotimi, Rashad Haughton (brother of the late singer Aaliyah), Makeba Riddick, and Blaque. Adaola’s song covers range from classic ballads by the late Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Josh Groban to original multi-voice part (SATB) acappella adaptations of choral pieces by George Frideric Handel and Moses Hogan.
Some of Adaola’s most treasured inspirations in the music world are the late Aaliyah, the late Whitney Houston, the late Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Sade, the late Bob Marley, Alicia Keys, and Jhené Aiko. Her personal style is a fusion of acoustic neo-soul, R&B, and indie-pop.
Adaola’s passion as a musician is exemplified by her belief that the learning never stops in honing one’s craft. She started playing acoustic guitar in September of 2020 and looks forward to incorporating this new skill in her musicianship going forward. Her love of writing poetry and creating original, and at times ethereal, harmonies are sure to create a colorful new sound that can be enjoyed by all.
