Adrina Thorpe 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 telling me goodbye. I think from that day on, I've always loved slow melancholy songs the best." Singer/songwriter and pianist, Adrina Thorpe, is a refreshing sound in adult alternative pop. Her style reflects the softer side of music, but that doesn't mean it doesn't shake people up. With a haunting voice and delicate touch at the piano, Adrina captures every audience and sends them on an emotion filled journey with her heartfelt lyrics. 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, Evanescence 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. 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. After his death, Adrina's mother sentimentally decided that Adrina must learn to play piano from the age of four to the age of eighteen, no questions asked. Throughout the years, Adrina went on to learn piece after classical piece, winning competitions statewide for performance. But it was the love of writing that held Adrina's soul. Often, Adrina would slip into the front room of the house and play her emotions out on the piano to the simple moonlight falling on the piano keys through the vaulted windows. Adrina's debut album, "elusive" is full of intricate, poignant, honest, and gentle emotion. Delicate piano melodies and lush vocals weave in and out of each other, drifting amid the punchy bass and drum lines. Wild and tame, strong and simple... the songs find their way into the deepest crevices of the heart. Like paper-thin china...like sunrise on the gray ocean waves...Adrina's melodies captivate listeners with their distinct beauty. Perhaps it was inevitable that Adrina would be a musician. And perhaps today, it was inevitable that her music found you. **Adrina's album, "elusive", was produced by Dave Bassett (producing/recording credits with Lisa Loeb, Evan and Jarron, Joe Bonamassa, etc.) and Phil Swann (producing/recording credits with Helen Slater, Phil Christie, etc.) "Adrina's going to make some noise in this racket everybody. Listen to her music and tell me I'm wrong...I dare you." ~Phil Swann "A wonderful artist and definitely one that needs lots of exposure - America needs your music, especially in these stressful times. ” - Live Magazine, Bob Leggett “Thank you so much for gracing our radio show this afternoon.
