Many
say she's got the voice of an angel, her music is
unique and relaxing and means soul food to them...
She is called Adrienn Antal.
The artist name "AdryA"
comes from her nickname Adry to which she has added
the initial of her second name, a capital "A".
As a child she realized music was
her language and way of phrasing. Her excellent
ear for music, clean voice and musicality were already
noticed in her early nursery school years.
She's been impressed by many musical
styles, but mostly by AOR, progressive rock, synth-pop
and alternative music. Her main influences are:
Depeche Mode, U2, Nine Inch Nails, Europe, Asia,
Glenn Hughes, Yes, and a well known hungarian singer/songwriter/poet
called Ákos.
During the school years she learnt
to play the piano and took solfeggio lessons. Besides
practising and playing classical works, she began
to use her fantasy and write her own compositions.
With the help of her sythesizer,
later she headed towards light music, especially
soft rock. At the age of high school student, she
created more and more complex songs. She started
to sing regularly at this time.
After finishing high school, she
began to found bands or joined other projects as
a singer or a keyboard-player/vocalist. But she
didn't have the chance to perform her songs with
any of them so after a time she
decided to walk her own path.
In the meantime, she could regularly
be seen as a guest singer on the stage of two well
known hungarian rock bands called Tunyogi Rock Band
and P.Mobil, which was a great pleasure for her.
In 2003 she felt the time had come
to create something to "creep out" with.
She decided to record a demo on her own with the
help of her instrument and computer. The songs were
written, scored and mixed by her and she put on
all the vocals and instrumental themes except guitars.
She asked her good friend János Závodi
(Janó) - who used to be the guitarist of
Hungary's most famous rockband (Piramis) in the
late 70's / early 80's - to play on the record.
The demo got the title "On the Waves"
and contains three tracks.
AdryA found her own style: a strange
mix of rock, pop and alternative music often spiced
with eastern melodies.
There are 2 materials available
at the moment. One of them is the mentioned On the
Waves. The new stuff called Nature's Answer (2005)
consists of more mature and more modern songs than
the previous collection and gives a panoramic view
of AdryA's musical world and conception.
AdryA is looking for a label at
the moment to release her debut CD.
