Adrian Eagle, born Adrian Naidu, is an Australian singer-songwriter. He is an ARIA Award winner and also a winner of two categories in the SA Music Awards in 2019.[1]

Early life

He was born in Adelaide to a Maltese mother and a Fiji-Indian father, with the surname Naidu. He has spoken frankly of his problems with anxiety, and his debut EP, Mama, pays homage to the women who have supported him, especially his mum, who raised him as a single mother.[2]

Career

His first break came when his cover of "Redemption Song" was shared by rapper 360.[2] He later collaborated with the Hilltop Hoods on their single "Clark Griswold". That song won them the 2018 ARIA for Best Urban Release.[3]

He went on to release the singles "17 Again" and "A.O.K." (which both had national rotation on Triple J,[4]) and his debut EP, Mama, in 2019.[2] Adrian also covered Ocean Alley's Hottest 100 winning single "Confidence" for Triple J's Like A Version, which drew praise from Rihanna.[5]

Adrian Eagle also appears as a guest vocalist on a range of hip hop artists' recordings, including Thundamentals, Fortay, K21 and Yorta Yorta artist DRMNGNOW.[citation needed]
