MUSICIANS
French Caribbean singer, bassist and fashion icon Adi Oasis is taking the music world by storm. Her 2023 debut album Lotus Glow — silky vocals, funky bass and retro-futurist production — has garnered over 30 million streams globally and earned features in Rolling Stone, Elle and Dazed. Lotus Glow is Adi’s most personal and political work to date, reflecting her journey from growing up in the Paris projects to life as a Black female immigrant in America. Born in Martinique, Oasis brings a distinctly global perspective to funk, soul and R&B, and her bass playing carries on a proud tradition of women who have made the instrument their own. Since going solo in 2018, she has earned widespread critical acclaim and a thriving fanbase built in large part on her electrifying live shows. She has toured with Lenny Kravitz, Masego, Anderson .Paak, Thundercat and Yasiin Bey and performed at Newport Jazz Fest, Montreux Jazz Festival, Afropunk, Central Park Summerstage, Cross the Tracks and NYC Winter Jazzfest, among many others. Along the way she has collaborated with Leven Kali, KIRBY, Jamila Woods, Danielle Ponder, Gilles Peterson and more. Adi Oasis is an artist fully and unapologetically herself, and the world is taking notice.
