Adele Laurie Blue Adkins
MBE
(; born 5 May 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the
BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology

Myspace
the same year. In 2007, she received the
Brit Awards
"Critics' Choice" award and won the
BBC
Sound of 2008
poll. Her debut album,
19
, was released in 2008 to commercial and critical success. It is certified seven times platinum in the UK, and double platinum in the US. An appearance she made on
Saturday Night Live
in late 2008 boosted her career in the US. At the
51st Annual Grammy Awards
in 2009, Adele received the awards for
Best New Artist
and
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance
.
