Hello . What is your name ? How long have you been involved in the entertainment business ? Adele Morgan over 20 years
When did you know that you wanted to be in this business and what was your motivation ? I always wanted to be a singer since the time I was a little girl . I didn ' t get into the professional aspect of it until I won a vocal contest and won a trip to Nashville . After meeting with record Execs and labels , I realized that I wanted to continue my career on my own timeline and decided to be an Independent Artist .
Who has helped you along the way and inspired you the most ? I used to travel with my grandfather here in Alaska to rural churches and play and sing when he preached . Members from my church helped me with my first recording . My daughter has always been the wind beneath my wings , encouraging me to continue to sing and write songs . Our local Christian book store owner and local radio ... since then there have been so many both Nationally and locally that have helped get my music and message around the world .
What are some of the highlights of your career so far ? Flying my band out to a remote village on the Yukon River and doing a concert for the Athabaskan Indian people . We did the concert in a the village Bingo Hall . Singing for several thousand people in North Ridge , CA when I was the National Spokesperson for Medtronic Diabetes . Speaking and singing in the small towns in South Africa . I did a worship conference for several churches and also got to help out in the Joe Slovo Settlement by singing and sharing the gospel to 100s of children .
Have you received any special awards or achievements ? I won a few songwriting awards in Alaska and vocal singing contests .
Do you have any special events , shows / gigs coming up ? I am currently writing and recording a Children ' s CD project ... which is hopefully going to be released this summer . It ' s called Dance and Dream . I have a gig this Friday May , 3rd a family concert to raise money for a little girl that is dealing with cancer .
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 or 10 years ? Still doing what I love , writing , speaking and singing . I hope to be doing more speaking engagements for women ' s conferences .
What would you like your legacy to be ? I would love my legacy to be that the music and the message was more important to me than the money and notoriety .
Do you have other interests ? What services does your company offer ? I ' m an advocate for children and work with World Vision as an Associate Artist . I also am a spokesperson for Diabetes and try to encourage those who deal with it to live healthy and contributing lives . I love sports ... I love to watch and play sports ... my favorite to play is Tennis and Volleyball . I also love the outdoors , especially since I live in Alaska , it ' s so wonderful to live and play in God ' s beautiful creation . I help young artists with their careers by vocal coaching and career coaching .
Any special words of encouragement or advice for our readers ? Do everything you do as unto the Lord . Find both your natural gifts and your spiritual gifts and bloom where you are planted and the Lord will direct your steps .
