Vocalist and songwriter Jennifer Cella, best known for her work as lead vocalist with the multi-platinum group Trans-Siberian Orchestra, portrays Adele with stunning accuracy alongside some of the finest musicians in the industry.

Adele is one of the best-selling singer-songwriters of all time, with sales of over 100 million albums worldwide.

Her accolades include an impressive sixteen Grammy Awards (including two Album of the Year awards), twelve Brit Awards (including three Album of the Year awards), an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award.

Jennifer Cella has captivated sold out audiences on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the world famous Madison Square Garden, while touring with Trans-Siberian Orchestra for nearly a decade. Jennifer’s voice can be heard on the timeless classic and fan favorite “Christmas Canon Rock,” as well as “Different Wings” from TSO’s “The Lost Christmas Eve” album, which was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 5 weeks. Other TSO recordings include “Father, Son, & Holy Ghost,” “Remnants of a Lullaby,” and “Carmina Burana” off the “Night Castle” album, which debuted at No.5 on the Billboard Charts and No.1 on the Billboard Rock Album chart. It was certified Gold in 8 weeks and has since gone Platinum.

Jennifer has sung alongside Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Roger Daltrey of The Who and Joan Jett, as well as Greg Lake of ELP, and Jon Anderson of YES. Jen has been featured on Good Morning America and Live with Regis and Kelly, as well as numerous morning radio show programs and countless local news shows.
