Since the success of her 1990 debut album Circle of One and the hit single “Get Here”, Oleta Adams has inspired fans around the world with songs that draw deeply from her roots in gospel while crossing effortlessly into the realms of soul, R&B, urban, and pop. Her success was first nurtured by worldwide tours with Tears for Fears, Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Luther Vandross and was solidified by four Grammy nominations and more than 2.5 million records sold.

Through the years, Adams has recorded duets with the likes of Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, and Shirley Caesar, and her music has been featured in several Hollywood films, including Sleeping with the Enemy and How Stella Got Her Groove Back. In 2019, Adams was inducted into the American Jazz Walk of Fame at the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, Missouri.
