Oleta Adams at SOPAC

April 5, 2024

Since the runaway success of her 1990 debut album Circle of One—which went Platinum—and the impassioned hit single “Get Here”—which became an unofficial anthem of the 1991 Gulf War—Oleta Adams has inspired a growing legion of fans around the world with journeys of the heart via songs that draw deeply from her roots in Gospel, while crossing effortlessly into the realms of Soul, R&B, Urban, and Popular music.

Her career began on international tours with industry legends such as the British band Tears for Fears; Phil Collins the composer of Tarzan (1999); Michael Bolton; and Luther Vandross. Throughout her career, Adams has recorded duets with the likes of Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, Toots Thielmans, and Shirley Ceasar. Her music is featured in blockbusters such as Corrina, Corrina; Sleeping with the Enemy; Jason’s Lyric; and her vocals were instrumental in setting the tone in How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Adams has received four Grammy nominations throughout her career and sold more than 5.2 million records. In 2017, Adams received the Legends Award at the Black Music Honors, acknowledging her influence and significant music contributions to African American culture and American music worldwide. Then, in 2019, Adams was inducted into the American Jazz Walk of Fame at the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, MO.
