TANNER Adell is making a name for herself on the country music scene thanks to her unique style, which is infused with an R&B blend.
The rising star released her debut album in 2023 and was featured on a Beyoncé song the following year.
Who is Tanner Adell?
Tanner Adell is a singer-songwriter from Manhattan Beach, California.
She grew up going to school in SoCal but often spent her summers at her family’s ranch in Wyoming, surrounded by livestock, which she credits with helping her connect to her country roots.
“I’ve been a country fan for as long as I can remember,” she explained during an interview with Country Now.
“I was listening to country music before I knew what country music was. When you are little, you don’t think about what a genre of music is.”
Some of the first songs she recalls listening to were Keith Urban’s Somebody Like You and Shania Twain’s Man! I feel Like A Woman.
“I was like five years old when I did that. So, I didn’t really know what country music was until YouTube came out. I was like, ‘Oh, my CD is so scratched up. I can’t even listen to it. So I would type in the lyrics of Somebody Like You, and those came up, and I was like, ‘Okay.’ So, I would play the lyric video over and over again.
“That and Josh Turner’s Would You Go With Me? That’s really where my love for country music started,” Tanner added.
Who are Tanner Adell’s parents?
Tanner was originally born in Lexington, Kentucky, but her adoptive parents later brought her home to California.
While her parents opt to stay out of the limelight, Tanner is known to publicly praise them for supporting her career.
“My family are my best friends,” Tanner wrote in March 2022.
“They have always believed in me and always pushed me to pursue my interests. Whether I wanted to play an instrument or start singing lessons, my family fully backed my pursuits, especially creative ones.”
She also has two older brothers, who were both adopted before her.
When did Tanner Adell work with Beyoncé?
On Friday, March 29, 2024, Beyoncé’s eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, was released.
The highly-anticipated country project features a number of acclaimed artists from various genres – including Tanner Adell.
Tanner is featured on Beyoncé’s cover of the famed Beatles’ song, Blackbird, alongside several other Black country singers: Tiera Kennedy, Brittney Spencer, and Reyna Roberts.
She took to her Instagram account to share the news and thank Beyoncé for the opportunity, writing: “My first collab and feature of my career appears on the Beyoncé album Cowboy Carter … I always say Beyoncé raised me.
“Beyoncé taught me how to be soft but strong. A force of nature. I’ve watched her be forged like metal in the fire of this industry and she remained poised, and grateful.”
Tanner continued: “The last two years in Nashville I have kept my head down, counted all my blessings big and small, and tried to perfect this craft of my artistry … Go back through every interview I have done, I get asked a million times ‘who is your dream collab’ and I have answered the same every time. Beyoncé.
“Thankyou Queen Bey for busting these gates wide open with this album.”
