Bio
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, better known simply as Adele, is a talented singer-songwriter hailing from England, born on May 5, 1988. She has a distinct voice that falls into the mezzo-soprano range and is celebrated for her heartfelt lyrics. Over the course of her career, Adele has garnered a remarkable array of awards, including 16 Grammy Awards, 12 Brit Awards (three of which were for British Album of the Year), an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Golden Globe Award.
After completing her arts education at the BRIT School in 2006, she landed a record deal with XL Recordings. Her first album, titled 19, dropped in 2008, featuring hit singles like "Chasing Pavements" and "Make You Feel My Love," both of which made it to the UK top five. This debut album has sold more than 2.5 million copies in the UK and is recognized as one of the top 20 best-selling debut albums in the country. For her impressive start, she was awarded the Grammy for Best New Artist.
In 2011, Adele released her second studio album, 21, which turned out to be a massive success, becoming the best-selling album of the 21st century with over 31 million copies sold worldwide. This album made history on the US charts, claiming the top spot on the Billboard 200 for an incredible 24 weeks. The singles "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone like You," and "Set Fire to the Rain" not only dominated the charts but also solidified her status as a leading artist. 21 earned her a record-tying six Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
Adele continued her winning streak in 2012 with the release of "Skyfall," a song for the James Bond film of the same name, which won her an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Her third studio album, 25, came out in 2015 and shattered first-week sales records in both the UK and the US, remaining the only album to sell over three million copies in its opening week. This album also netted her five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, with the lead single "Hello" achieving worldwide acclaim.
Most recently, her fourth studio album, 30, was released in 2021, featuring the chart-topping and Grammy-winning track "Easy on Me." Both 25 and 30 topped the best-selling albums charts globally, in their respective release years of 2015 and 2021. As of 2023, every one of her studio albums, with the exception of 19, has reached the top of the yearly best-selling albums list around the world in the 21st century.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need security for my event if I hire a celebrity?
Yes, the celebrity may require you to hire unarmed police or private esecurity. It depends on the status of the chosen celebrity and the type of event. The artist needs protection and everyone’s reputation is in jeopardy if they are not reasonably protected. Sometimes the celebrity will bring their own bodyguard.
Will I have to pay for the celebrity’s hotel, travel and food?
Most of the time the celebrity will expect general food and beverage accommodations for the duration of the event. In more complex bookings, they may want to be fed from the day of arrival to the day of departure. Additionally, hotels and transportation should be provided unless a buyout is included in the offer being submitted before you book a celebrity.
Will I get my money back after I have hired a celebrity and my event is canceled?
If your event is canceled sometimes you can receive a refund or a credit toward future or rescheduled performance in the event of a force majeure. Other times the contract has strict cancellation terms that must be adhered to. We help you outline the cancellation terms in the negotiating process.
Can I hire a celebrity for an event myself?
Anyone can hire a celebrity. You will pay more in most cases because an artist can tell if you are not familiar with the process. Always consult with a professional before you book a celebrity yourself. There is a specific process that should be followed.
Will a celebrity prepare a speech or promote my product at the event?
The short answer is yes. The celebrity will help promote your product and deliver a speech if that is included in the deal points when we submit the offer. A celebrity may also post the product on their social media.
What happens if a celebrity is late to my event?
Sometimes flights are delayed, it’s the unfortunate part of traveling abroad. As part of the contract process, we help eliminate delays by adding a late-arrival clause that allows you to cancel the performance if an artist is late beyond a certain point. It’s not ideal and it is rarely a concern, but the good news is that you will get your deposit back and you will not be liable for the performer’s final payment.
Can I pick which songs the celebrity performs at my event?
You can certainly create a list of songs you want performed. The celebrity will sing or perform all of the chosen songs or as many as reasonably possibly within the appearance time paid for.
Will a celebrity sing and perform at my private or public event?
Absolutely, there are some requirements to be aware of if you want a musical performance, however. A celebrity may ask you to fulfill parts of their tour rider, which outlines specific types of equipment needed to execute a live performance.
Are there any celebrities I cannot hire for my event?
It depends, some celebrities will avoid certain political affiliations, communities or parties that may be considered a conflict of interest. We will help you determine the potential obstacles before wasting any time.
Will the celebrity I choose take pictures with my family and friends?
Yes, the celebrity will take pictures with you and a small group of people assuming you make time for it during their appearance. If you want a celebrity to appear for an hour, set aside 30 minutes of that time for a meet and greet, otherwise the celebrity may not stick around for longer than what’s stated in their contract.
How much does it cost to hire a celebrity for an event?
The cost to hire a celebrity can vary from artist to artist. Other determining factors will influence the price as well. The deal points we create on your behalf , the location of your event, and duration of appearance can heavily influence the price of a celebrity booking.
Can you guarantee the celebrity will be hired for my event?
In most cases, if the celebrity is available and the offer is strong, we guarantee the chosen celebrity will strongly consider the offer. Sometimes, it makes sense to have a backup plan, however, schedules change and late bookings can be risky. It’s best to have 2-3 celebrities in mind before you start the process, just in case the first is unavailable.
When will I have to pay the celebrity to appear at my private or public event?
Typically an artist will be paid in two separate installments. The first payment is a deposit of 50% which is usually paid thirty to ninety days from the engagement. Sometimes the artist will require a full payment upfront, it depends on the scope of work and the notoriety of the celebrity being considered. The final payment of 50% is paid on the day of the event, unless there is a ticket reconciliation that needs to occur.
Will the celebrity sign autographs for my team and client?
Yes, of course. We include signed memorabilia in all of our offers (memorabilia to be provided by the venue or client).
How long does it take to hire a celebrity for a private or public ticket event?
It can take as much as three to four months to confirm a celebrity appearance, or two days depending on the deal points, offer and location of your event. Start the process early – that’s our recommendation.
What is the process for hiring a celebrity for a private or ticket event?
The process includes selecting the artist(s), contacting our agency, then creating deal points to include in an offer sheet. Once you have the details outlined, we can discuss the terms with the artist or manager. After the artist agrees to the deal points, a contract is signed, a deposit is made and the performance will happen before the remaining money is paid to the artist.
