Ciara Adams has made some bold choices in the last few years, well on her way to an outstanding career in Jazz, she decided she wanted to start writing her own tunes, so she got busy and the results are totally Decadent Rare- a fitting name for her band and the label she started in 2005 boasting over 15,000 in sales from her first record. We love the internet for helping us get the music to the fan directly!Ciara is a charismatic and versatile performer . Her background in opera, theatre, and cabaret, and her undeniable soul for jazz combine to create a delectably original style.
Ciara's new record, Last of the Bohemians produced by Tim Abraham at the Hive Studios in Toronto, blends her style with an influence of pop, electronica and contemporary groove. The record contains her own original music with the addition of a soaring cover of the French torch chanson La Bohéme by Charles Aznavour and an original rendition of Compay Segunda's Chan Chan, made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club.
A classically trained opera singer, Ciara moved to London, England shortly after graduating from Queen's University. In London, Ciara attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. While at the Guildhall, Ciara had the opportunity to study the music of Kurt Weill in Italy, opening up an entirely new world of influence including the songs of Jacques Brel, Hollaender, Tom Lehrer, and more.
After graduation, Ciara recorded a series of Children's CD's for National retailer Mothercare, and performed on stage as an ensemble member at The Royal National Theatre. Ciara has even found herself singing Irish folk music in a Mongolian Ger and Fauré on the streets of Toulouse.
After moving back to Canada, Ciara released her debut album "CIARA ADAMS - Live at Le Select Bistro", an live jazz album recorded at the 2004 Toronto International Jazz Festival. This record readily displays Ciara's vocal prowess, while illuminating her dramatic appeal in a live performance setting. This debut release has put her on the map and made its way onto international charts from Japan to Portugal.
Ciara also has a company VOCABLE with Canadian sound poet a.rawlings (Wide Slumber for Lepidopterists)
