Adele has been one of the world's most well-known singers and songwriters in recent years. Born in North

When she was a student at the British School for Performing Arts and Technology, she recorded three songs

album, "21", came out. The music on this album was different from the soul music of "19". It was influenced
by American country music, which Adele was listening to during her tour.
In 2012, she wrote and recorded "Skyfall" for the James Bond film of the same name. The song sold more
than two million copies worldwide and for it Adele won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
