Her real name

Contrary to popular belief, Adele remains one of the few artists who performs under her real name. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988 in Tottenham, London, England, and has used her pseudonym throughout her amazing journey to superstar fame.

Inspiration and alcohol

Interestingly, Adele has shared that some of her best songs were born under the influence of alcohol. Unlike those who rely on silence for their creative process, Adele finds inspiration in the company of this drink. In addition, the singer recently gave up alcohol for a while.

Melodies for the movie screen

Not only does Adele enchant us with her musical talents, but she has also contributed to the magic of cinema. Her iconic song "Skyfall" was originally written as the theme for the 2012 James Bond movie of the same name. Despite Adele's initial doubts about the project, the song received critical acclaim and awards, including a Grammy and an Oscar for Best Song.

The path to fame

Adele's path to success was not without its doubts and skeptical moments. When a talent scout from XL Recordings found her music on Myspace, Adele initially thought the opportunity was a scam.
