Adriana Miki

Originally from Sao Paolo, now living in Lisbon, Portugal, singer Adriana Miki, at a very young age, found herself irresistibly drawn to music. “Music has been part of my soul since before I could walk, “Adriana recalls. ”As a child playing under the stairs it would be all around me, adding tone and color to my world, making my heart beat faster.

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 myself, singing all that is inside of me.
