None other than convincing, Adiagha will make you a believer. Her emotional sensitivities and transformative ability intensely immerses audiences into the lives of each character she portrays. Equipped with comedic timing, this Barrymore Award winning actress delivers. In the early stages of development, her theatrical skills were nurtured by Michele Hawkins-Jones and Jesse Wooden, Jr. of St. Paul Community Baptist Church in East New York. She later received formal training through The Susan Batson Studio, The Negro Ensemble Company and The Barrow Acting School. 

 

As a trained vocalist, this Brooklyn native's sultry, yet dynamic contralto spans a variety of music genres, such as gospel, funk, r&b, blues and jazz.

LaGuardia H.S. of Performing Arts, Adiagha was awarded the Michael Masser Scholarship honoring Whitney Houston, selected as an ensemble vocalist for Mariah Carey's Daydream World Tour (Madison Square Garden) and has performed with several renowned musicians in the industry.
