AdELA
Artist. Songwriter. Storyteller.
AdELA is a South African-born, Florida-raised, Atlanta-based artist, songwriter, and creative visionary whose work lives at the intersection of music, cinema, emotion, and culture. With four independent studio projects released and a career spanning artist releases, sync licensing, television, gaming, sports, and branded media, she has built a lane entirely her own — blending cinematic storytelling, fearless songwriting, and genre-bending sound into immersive musical worlds.
As both an artist and songwriter, AdELA has collaborated with and created alongside Grammy-winning and multi-platinum talent including Royce Da 5’9”, Fat Joe, Kool G Rap, Skyzoo, and STREETRUNNER. She earned her first RIAA Gold certification as a co-writer and performer on Meek Mill’s “Made It From Nothing,” helping launch a career rooted equally in artistry and creative versatility.
Her music has been featured across major global platforms including Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, ABC, Nickelodeon, Ubisoft, Fortnite, WWE, and the NHL, where her song “Champion” became the official anthem for the 2022 Stanley Cup. She also performed “Octane” for Ubisoft’s Rider’s Republic campaign and has created custom music for campaigns, trailers, television, sports media, and branded content viewed worldwide.
Known for creating music that feels both emotionally raw and cinematic in scale, AdELA moves effortlessly between explosive anthems, atmospheric storytelling, intimate records, and high-energy cultural moments. Whether writing for the screen, the stage, or deeply personal artist projects, her work is driven by atmosphere, authenticity, emotion, and impact.
Beyond her own artistry, AdELA is the founder and CEO of Off The Burner Music, a creative collective focused on sync licensing, songwriting, artist development, and cinematic music creation. Her work continues to bridge music and visual storytelling while building worlds designed to stay with people long after the music ends.
