May 25, 2017 — Adria Shahid has been singing for as long as she can remember In fact, she told her hometown newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch, that dancing to jazz music in her parents’ house as a four year old is one of her earliest memories. Still, Shahid did not begin singing professionally until she was in her 30s.
Now 60, Shahid brings a lifetime of music and life experience working with many musical greats over the years to her latest album, Warrioress of Love. That title track features Shahid singing about self-love and love of the divine while fronting a top-flight funk infused jazz band.
Shahid herself has an interesting story. She wrote many of the tunes for this album after breaking her leg last year, and she wondered whether the injury was God’s way of slowing her down so she could begin the writing process. “I’m going to make you sit to listen to what I have to say to you.” So check out what divine inspiration gave to Adria Shahid.
