Career
Career
Adams' career as a singer did not really succeed until she relocated to Abidjan, in Côte d'Ivoire. With the assistance of Boncana Maïga, of Africando, she was able to start her career as a singer and release her debut album Journal Intime in 1994. In 2003, she moved to Dakar in Senegal, because her husband had to move there for work. Her 2003 album Anesthésie was well-received and she was nominated for the 2003 Kora All Africa Music Awards. She had a "difficult childhood", and her songs cover topics including child abuse, injustice and infidelity.
