Adia & the 7 Eyes

 Adia is a neo-soul rock violinist, singer, songwriter, and recent winner of the 2014 Judges’ Selection for the Experience Hendrix Tour, as well as the 2013 Steve Vai Best in Shred Competition. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI Adia enrolled in her first violin lessons when she was just three and a half years old. After receiving a Master of Music degree in violin performance from DePaul University in Chicago, Adia switched to a custom made 5-string electric violin with a unique guitar sound, clearly influenced by her greatest influence Jimi Hendrix.  In 2012 Adia teamed up with some of Chicago’s finest: Matt Nelson on keyboards, Geoff Lowe on bass, Zoey Witz on guitar and Frank Alongi on drums, to form Adia & The 7 Eyes, a band that lives for their electrifying concert performances that combine the raw power of rock with blues, funk and soul influences.
