Singer/songwriter and pianist, Adrina Thorpe, is a refreshing sound in adult alternative pop. Her style reflects the softer side of music, with a haunting voice and a delicate touch at the piano. Adrina has been writing songs almost as long as she can remember. Her first song was written on a rainy car ride home when she was six.

"All I can remember is looking through the foggy streaked window at little bursts of light outside in the pitch black sky, hearing the sound of the car's engine, and coming up with a song that brought me to tears that night. It was a song about a friend of mine who left our school without ever saying goodbye." From that day on, Adrina's love of the more introspective melancholy song was established, as Adrina's list of favorite artists goes to show... Adrina has been inspired by artists on all ends of the musical spectrum, including Sarah McLachlan (Adrina's all time favorite artist), Coldplay, Five for Fighting, Tori Amos, Paula Cole, Dido and Chantal Kreviazuk. However her sound still retains its uniqueness.

This may quite possibly be attributed to the fact that during Adrina's formative years she was completely immersed in classical music and musical theater. Sometimes beauty must emerge from ashes and that is, metaphorically speaking, how Adrina's musical career began. Adrina's father, a stunning classical pianist, died tragically young due to an unexpected heart attack at the age of thirty-four... three weeks after Adrina was born. ...show less
