Annie Adams
What do you get when you combine the smooth vocals of classic R&B and Jazz, along with the energy and fun of today? An irresistible cocktail that smooths the soul and heightens your senses by the name of Annie Adams.

While she grew up on gospel, her sound resonates and innovates like Ledisi and Jill Scott. To top it off, she incorporates the cosmopolitan sensibilities of an educated, well-traveled, and well-rounded young woman to create a soulful aesthetic that is anything but around the way. 

There’s every day and there’s exceptional. Annie Adams’ fans know the difference, and that’s why they can’t get enough of this 21st century entertainer.

Bringing back the pure R&B sound combining intense vocals, jazz, gospel & blues, Annie Adams continues to mesmerize. 

Currently, based in Indian Trail, NC (just outside of Charlotte, NC), her spirit & essence of soul stemmed from the church. 

Being an only child pushed Annie to recognize her gift as she continues to evolve.

Not only has she been a female demo vocalist for Virgin Records, Capital Records & Bad Boy Records, Annie has also shared stages with several artists such as Tank, Dru Hill, Hi-Five, Big Daddy Kane, Sunshine Anderson, Nikki D & the R&B group, SOLO, to name a few. 

Annie’s powerful vocal performances have also been highly showcased in various shows and events as well.

Her mission is to continue to create a melodic sound that will keep you wanting more.

Prepare for the journey to take you on a nostalgic ride through the heartfelt sound of the voice of Miss Annie Adams.
