ABOUT

If joy were a melody, then Hope Adriana's music captures that song.

This Cincinnati, OH native spent four years of her childhood living as a missionary kid in Montego Bay, Jamaica; an experience that influenced her love for songs with melodic flavor, fat pockets and smooth harmonies. With both parents as worship leaders, she found freedom in worshiping God with music at a young age. She soon began to sing and write songs with her older sisters.

Once returned to the USA, Hope began playing trumpet in the school band for several years before accompanying her vocals on the acoustic guitar and creating hooks on the piano. This was the beginning of her journey with songwriting, arranging and collecting garageband demos.

After her acceptance into Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA), Hope spent most nights either performing in small venues around the city or in the studio recording her first EP, "Notebooks and Ceiling Tile Epiphanies".
The Boston winter winds shortly swept her away to Southern California, where she attended Hope International University (Fullerton, CA) to study Worship Arts.
Having seen the east and west coast, Hope decided to pack up once more and head down south to Nashville, TN.

In "Music City", Hope honed her artistry by background singing for her aunt, Nicole C. Mullen; a widely known Christian recording artist who is noted for her writing and recording of the classic hit "Redeemer". Also as a former Guitar Mentor for ROOTS Academy (Franklin, TN), Hope also loves to pour into other creative leaders in the making.

Her creativity is influenced by many artists including Phil Wickham, John Mayer, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Grits, Ron Kenoly, Cece Winans, James Taylor, and Out of Eden.

Hope currently resides with her mother in Cincinnati, OH.
