Adéla Jergová (born 30 November 2003) is a Slovak singer and songwriter. She first rose to prominence as a contestant on the competition series Dream Academy in 2023 and released her debut single as a solo artist, "Homewrecked", the following year.

Life and career

Adéla Jergová was born in Slovakia on 30 November 2003. She began taking ballet lessons in Moscow starting when she was three years old. As a child, she became interested in vocal mastering and production. At 14 years old, she started writing songs on piano and moved to Vienna to join the Vienna State Ballet, then moved to London the following year.

In summer 2023, Adéla moved to Los Angeles to compete on the Hybe Corporation and Geffen Records reality competition series Dream Academy against 19 other girls. During the first challenge, she performed a group dance to the Blackpink song "Pink Venom" and was part of the first pair of contestants to be eliminated, having received the lowest amount of fan votes. The winners of the series went on to form the girl group Katseye. She also appeared in Netflix's behind-the-scenes series covering Dream Academy, Pop Star Academy: Katseye, which premiered in 2024. That year, she made her debut as a solo artist in September with the release of her single "Homewrecked", which Out named one of the best singles of the week of its release. Adéla's second single "Superscar" was released in October 2024. As of 2024, she is attending college in Los Angeles for music.

Musical style

Adéla's music is pop. She has described her lyrics as "exaggerated" and "over-the-top" versions of the events of her life. She has cited Beyoncé and Lady Gaga as her biggest musical influences, calling herself "the biggest BeyHive you've ever fucking met", and listed Mariah Carey, Patti LaBelle, Whitney Houston, Céline Dion, and Aretha Franklin as early inspirations on her vocals and Imogen Heap, Ariana Grande, and Beyoncé as influential on her use of harmonies.
