Hi, I’m Adaja Black, also known as Arcadia. I’ve been singing since I could talk, and music has steered my life from day one. I’ve spent a decade as a DJ, spinning in clubs, at weddings, house parties and ecstatic dances. I’m a music producer, vocalist, songwriter and rhythm guitarist, and I also play the flute. I pride myself on being an artist and advocate for truth, weaving magic melodies and fresh perspectives into people’s lives through song and storytelling. My repertoire spans over 2000 songs across modern and classical genres, and I’ve performed around the world—from Australia and America to Italy, the UK and Bali—with big bands like The Pearly Shells and jazz trios such as The Shuffle Club. I’m a recording artist on dozens of sessions (over 75 tracks) and have appeared on Australian Idol finals in 2006 and 2008. I’ve sung on Mazda ads, toured with Scarlett Belle, and I’ve done modeling and brand ambassadorship while pursuing writing and releasing original music in the near future.
