Getting to Know New York Based Singer/Songwriter SHOLA

Jamaican American Artist who NBC News describes “traverses cultures with a special kind of versatility that comes from being a citizen of the world.” Her debut album Lost Myself (Hot Casa Records, 2016) a collaboration with French Jazz pianist, Florian Pellissier is a musical voyage that blends New York’s hard-bop aesthetics and reggae- inspired elements with modern jazz for a fresh spin on classics and original compositions. Since then, Shola has performed to sold-out crowds at one of Paris’ most celebrated jazz clubs, Duc des Lombards, and her single,“Evolution” has been played on international airwaves, most notably by Gilles Peterson (BBC Music Radio, London), and was hand picked by American Director Spike Lee to be featured in his Netflix series, She’s Gotta Have It, Season 1.

Born in Oakland, California to a family of artists and intellectuals, Shola Adisa-Farrar began singing at the age of eight and garnered attention for her distinctly expressive voice. The daughter of a professor and writer, Shola’s poetic lyrics reflect a childhood that nurtured her creativity and social awareness. At age 17, Shola moved to New York City where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Music while educating herself on the behind-the-scenes business of the music industry, through internships and eventually working at some of music’s biggest companies. In 2011, Shola left New York and moved to Paris where she embarked on a singing career, which eventually opened the doors for her to perform internationally.

Shola has headlined concerts in fifteen countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. In 2021 Shola is slated to release new music every month which is available on all streaming platforms.
