Adele Laurie Blue Adkins born May 5, 1988 in Enfield, North London, known professionally as Adele, is an English jazz singer. She is the first recipient of the Brit Awards Critics' Choice, which was given to artists who, at the time, had yet to release an album. Adele has also been hailed by the British press as "the new Amy Winehouse" .
She debuted at number one with her debut album 19 in the UK album chart
and has since then been certificated platinum with sales over 300,000
copies. Adele's first public singing performance was in a school
presentation where she sang "Rise" by Gabrielle. To make her look like
the singer, her mother made an eye patch with sequins, which she said
