ADUBEA

Born 1995 in Tema, Ghana, Adubea, previously known as Juliet Oh –otherwise known as Juliet Owusu- is a 23-year-old Soul singer-songwriter currently hailing from the city of Brampton, Ontario in Canada. Migrating to Toronto, Canada with her mother in 1997, Adubea found her interest in singing soon after. By the time Adubea  was enrolled in elementary school, she was singing in both her school and church choir.

Admiring the music of her 90’s predecessors, she developed a love for conscious and soulful sounding music. Adubea listened and learned from the greats; Lauryn Hill, Otis Redding, Sade, Boyz II Men, even Mos Def impacted her vocally as she got older. As she continued to experiment with her voice, at age 13 she began to compose music of her own. Being an enthusiast of classical and instrumental music, Adubea bore a desire to learn how to play an instrument. With a little help from the internet, she later learned how to play the piano. Since then she has written numerous songs and composed several melodies which she has mostly performed live.  

She first hit the circuit in October of 2013 with a five track EP entitled ‘Just Thinkin’ which she released on NoiseTrade and Band Camp. Following her initial release, Adubea  continued on to establish her artistic foot-print in the Toronto music scene with performances at notable venues like; The Hard Rock Cafe, Revival Bar, Lula Lounge, and The Smiling Bhudda also at major music events like Canadian Music Week, Toronto Indie Music Week and Landmark Music Festival. In October of 2017, she released her second project ‘Lost Files’ on SoundCloud which has garnered 1k+ listens. This would lead into the release of her first mainstream single ‘If’, which proved to be significantly successful after being featured on one of Toronto’s Largest urban radio stations G98.7

Adubea  intends on becoming a visionary for others to look up to. She hopes to become revolutionary, creating timeless pieces that will change the way people look at and listen to music. While she does wish to remain true to soul and rhythm and blues, she continues to embark on a journey of creativity, evolving and continuously honing her craft as she grows.
