How singer Adele surprisingly became one of the biggest stars in the world


Adele Laurie Blue Adkins  born 5 May 1988 is an English singer
and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. In 2007, she received the Brit Awards "Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008. Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008 to commercial and critical success. It is certified seven times platinum in the UK, and double platinum in the US. An appearance she made on Saturday Night Live in late 2008 boosted her career in the US. At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009, Adele received the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Even after her first album, "19," made Adele famous in 2008, she was known to pop down to her local pub, sans makeup, for a few drinks. That was back before her sophomore album, "21," made her a Grammy winner. Back before she was the mom of a young son and a superstar whose eagerly awaited "25" album became so massive, it's being heralded as the "it" album of 2015, with a hit single that's sparked everything from Muppet spoofs to "Saturday Night LIve" skits.

But how did a self-described "loud and bolshie" (British slang for unruly and clamorous) girl who reportedly never wanted to be famous blow so many artiste out of the water?
