I’m Adria Firestone, and I weave the power of the spoken word with the magic of song to craft unforgettable experiences for my audiences. Beyond performance, I combine my musical talents with inspirational speaking, offering an experience that motivates and transforms.

Imagine an evening alive with the timeless tunes of the Big Bands, the genius of Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, the enchantment of musical theater, and the irresistible rhythms of international hits. When the final applause fades, your attendees will leave feeling uplifted, with a renewed sense of self-perception.

As an entertainment industry coach with global clientele, my purpose is to leverage my extensive experience, international network, and practical tools to advance your artistic development and career aspirations. At the heart of my coaching is a focus on who you are as an individual. A grounded artist is not at the mercy of the unpredictable nature of show business!

I teach at NJCU in the Music, Dance & Theatre Department and am a nationally certified trainer for Time to Teach, a classroom management system. My programs are designed and presented at prestigious institutions such as Duke University, the National University of Singapore, Dubai English-speaking School, and Northwestern University.

My journey has been rich and varied. ABC de Sevilla dubbed me "a wild stage beast," Opera News described me as "a light in the darkness," and Reforma in Mexico City crowned me "The Queen of the Palacio de Bellas Artes."

I enjoyed a long, award-winning career as an opera singer, musical theater performer, and actor. From my world-renowned portrayal of Carmen in Bizet’s opera to appearances on Family Guy, my credits are diverse. I have been honored with the Carbonell Award for Best Actress in a Musical and was named Woman of the Year at the Spoleto Festival. My performances have taken me around the globe, from Shanghai to the Pacific Rim and from Cairo to Canada.

Let’s connect and create something extraordinary together!
