Clelia Adams started her career in music as a girl Friday/journalist for Go-Set magazine in the late 60’s, then into Product and Marketing for WEA Records in Sydney & London in the 70’s. A move to Tamworth in the mid 70’s saw the beginnings of a professional  career as a session singer that spanned 25 years in every studio in town, up until the year 2000, when came a green sea change to Mullumbimby, on the far north coast of NSW.

Clelia’s national and international country music profile has grown enormously in the past 8 years, starting with the release of Bring It On in 2001.  Heartbeat Highway came in 2005 and continued the trend of massive global airplay for her music. It also won her a TIARA (Tamworth Independent Artists Recognition Awards) in 2006, and many new international fans, with this album yielding 6 Top 10’s on the European charts. Her music has consistently rated in the Top 10 on the European (ECMA) and Australian (Countrytracks Top 30) country music charts.

2008 saw the release of new album Wildflowers, a collection of personal favourites and originals. CM Industry acknowledgement came with the induction of Clelia to the 2008 Australian Country Music Wall of Honour in Tamworth, for her services to the professional recording industry. Wildflowers continued to receive massive global industry acclaim and recognition, with the song taking out awards throughout 2008, including the 2008 Northern Territory Song of the Year and a double winner at the 2008 NSW Gold Medallion Awards in Tamworth for 2008 Female Vocalist of the Year and 2008 Songwriter of the Year for Wildflowers.

A self-confessed 60’s kid, Clelia’s evocative retro music mix has captivated the Ausssie and international country music world. Her blend of traditional roots classic country, western swing, honky tonk, country rock & rockabilly is a mighty infectious combination. Audiences around the world agree.

July 2009 came news of Clelia’s unprecedented four nominations in the 2008/2009 European Country Music Awards. Song of the Year for Wildflowers, Artist of the Year, and Female Vocalist of the Year, and Newcomer Artist of the Year, the only Australian artist amongst internationals Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift.
