Ginea "Adi" Wolf
Ginea "Adi" Wolf was born in Bermuda and lived in London for several years before coming to Germany to perform in various musicals. The singer, songwriter and actress, who is also an expressive painter, is considered "the voice to be heard," as the magazine "L'Afritude" wrote.
Ginea's voice is sometimes strong and commanding, then again melodically soft; always present and haunting. In her large repertoire of jazz, blues, soul and rock standards as well as her impressive own songs, you can clearly see the influences of timeless names in the scene such as Deitra Farr, Oleta Adams, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Eva Cassidy and India Arie. Ginea Wolf effortlessly joins the ranks of those fascinating singers who light up the stage with the first bars of a song.
Her career has been marked by numerous appearances and leading roles in films and musicals, such as the leading role of Billie Holiday in "The Billie Holiday Story" or in "Tina Turner", "Showboat" and "Jesus Christ Superstar". In 2012 she sang at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London at Trafalgar Square.
