Adrienne Cowan

Adrienne Cowan is a Metal vocalist, composer, and orchestrator, the winner of the 2016 International Portuguese Music Award for Best Rock Performance (with Mike Kerr), and the 2013 Lollapalooza-endowed scholarship to Berklee College of Music. She is best known for her work in Boston-based Symphonic metal band Seven Spires, where she draws from all flavors across and outside of the spectrum of metal and orchestral. She is also the vocalist of the hard rock/power metal act FirstBourne, and the vocalist of Italian/German/American power metal band Light & Shade. Additionally, she provides guest appearances with other artists including Swedish metallers Amaranthe, and RWBY’s Jeff Williams.

   

 

Vocally, she cites her time grinding through local rock and metal scenes as a self-taught metal vocalist as the most influential ingredient in her signature pallet of Halford-esque screams, low growls, and powerful, high melodic passages. However, she studied various Operatic singing techniques with Kathleen Flynn at Berklee, and has also studied Speech Level Singing at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Surrey, UK. She also studied classical singing with various teaches around the world throughout her middle and high school career, and has been a classically trained pianist from the age of 6. In her very little spare time, Adrienne gets lost in books, video games, concept albums, and other forms of stories that indulge her distantly romantic outlook on death and solo voyages. She also enjoys sushi, Kraken, and espresso with friends, drafting crazy business ventures, and Carl Sagan’s contemplations of man’s place in the universe.
