When she wasn’t putting on shows for the local kids in the neighborhood and her 6 brothers and sisters, Adair often went hunting with her dad Ed.
When Adair was 14, everything changed when her father died trying to get his family to safety during a house fire.
Adair, her mom and siblings were forced into poverty, living off of government assistance and constantly moving around.
By the time she was in her late teens, Adair was out on her own in New York City , trying to earn money to send to her family, but at the same time trying to catch a break as a recording artist.
Adair managed to make some headway networking with industry movers and shakers while at working the door at nightlife hotspots.
Privately she fell deeper into depression, not ever having the opportunity to mourn the death of her father and frustrated that her career lacked focus and direction.
At her lowest moment, Adair woke up in a hospital bed after overdosing on pills and alcohol. It was at that point that Adair put her faith in God and asked for Him to help her get her life back together.
She soon started to write incessantly about everything that had gone on in her life – from her father to her alcohol addiction – and slowly but surely, her words turned into songs.
About a year later, a mutual friend introduced Adair to Frequency, an up and coming music producer from Long Island.
Frequency, who had seen some early success in his career producing songs for rappers like Snoop Dogg, Cam’ron and Raekwon, had just become a member of the multi-platinum production team the Trackmasters.
After testing out different producers, Adair eventually decided that she and Frequency had a chemistry that could not be matched.
After recording six songs together in early 2009, they knew they were onto something, and Adair signed to Frequency’s label, Freq Show Music, as his first artist.
The music that Frequency and Adair have created defies categorization by genre. Many have described the pair as the new Missy and Timbaland, combining elements of Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, Funk, Rock and even Gospel.
Adair’s songs all touch on real life experiences – from “PTSD” which is about Adair’s battles with anxiety and panic attacks, to “Show Off” which is about a persistent suitor at a nightclub, to “If It Had to Happen” which is about the death of her dad.
Everyone that hears her music knows that something special is about to take the music industry by storm.
Adair is her music. She is one with it. She sings about what she’s been through and what she’s still going through.
“I want people to come into my world, and if they can dance while they’re doing it, then I think I’ve accomplished my goal!”
