Adriana Evans

Adriana Evans is one of the shining lights of the "back to soul" movement. The daughter of San Francisco jazz singer Maria Stallings, who worked with Cal Tjader and Count Basie, Evans is a sophisticated singer who understands the feel of '70s jazzy Soul and combines that understanding with deft hip-hop production. Evans is in complete control of her craft, and with proper exposure she should be one of the breakout stars of the decade.
