Michele Adamson is a British vocalist, songwriter, DJ, and producer best known for her contributions to the psychedelic trance and electronic music scenes.^[1]

She is widely recognized for her vocal work with artists such as Shpongle, Infected Mushroom, Younger Brother, Astrix, and Art of Trance. Her voice has appeared on several influential electronic albums, including Shpongle's Tales of the Inexpressible (2001) and Infected Mushroom's Converting Vegetarians (2003).

Adamson grew up between Hong Kong and England. Her father worked as a pilot, which resulted in frequent international travel during her childhood.^[2]

During her teenage years in Switzerland, she sang in a jazz band and performed at open mic events. This ensemble also performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival.^[2]

Adamson was introduced to psychedelic trance while attending boarding school in Switzerland, where she first encountered the music of Hallucinogen through Swiss radio broadcasts. She later became familiar with the UK psytrance scene through British ravers she met while traveling in the Caribbean.^[2]

She studied Performing Arts at Middlesex University in London and later completed postgraduate studies in Creative Writing at the University of Sussex.^[2]

While studying in London, Adamson became involved in the city's underground trance scene, attending regular events at The Fridge nightclub. Through these events, she met Simon Hinton, manager of Twisted Records, who introduced her to producer Simon Posford.^[2]

Adamson contributed vocals to Shpongle's second studio album, Tales of the Inexpressible (2001). Her vocal performance on the track "Dorset Perception" became the album's opening piece and is regarded as one of the defining elements of the record.^[2]

She later performed live with Shpongle at The Roundhouse in London in 2008 and as part of the group's 12-piece live ensemble at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2014.^[3]

Adamson collaborated with Infected Mushroom during the early 2000s, initially contributing vocals to "I See Myself", released as a collaboration between Hallucinogen and Infected Mushroom. She later traveled to Israel to record vocals for Infected Mushroom's album Converting Vegetarians (2003), appearing on tracks such as "Blink" and "Illuminaughty".^[4]

The album received Gold Disc certification in Israel in 2004.^[2]

Adamson has collaborated with a wide range of electronic music producers, including Astrix, Sub6, Art of Trance, and Alan Parsons. In 2004, she contributed vocals to the track "Return to Tunguska" on Alan Parsons' album A Valid Path, which also featured David Gilmour.

She has also worked with Younger Brother, contributing vocals to "Crumblenaut" from the album A Flock of Bleeps (2008).

Adamson released her debut solo album Fallen Angel in 2005, followed by Strange Arrangements in 2007. In addition to her released albums, she has produced experimental and meditative music projects, exploring low-tempo compositions and the therapeutic qualities of sound.^[2]

She continues to tour internationally and collaborate with contemporary electronic music producers. In a 2025 interview, Adamson reflected on her upcoming performance at the Wingmakers Festival 25th Anniversary, noting the festival's significance in the development of her international career.^[1]

In a 2023 interview, Adamson revealed that she was co-writing a book about becoming a better listener, exploring how to listen properly in a world full of noise. She explained that the book examines how family dynamics and habitual patterns can interfere with truly hearing people in the present moment.^[2] Beyond music, she has expressed interests in healing, meditation, yoga, and psychedelic experiences.^[2]

Adamson's vocal style is characterized by the use of the human voice as both a melodic and textural element. She frequently employs heavily processed or wordless vocals, treating the voice as a form of synthesis rather than traditional lyrical performance.^[2]

Recurring themes in her work include transformation, emotional connection, and spiritual introspection. She has described her creative process as iterative and open-ended, emphasizing the importance of releasing a work rather than pursuing technical perfection. Symbolic concepts such as alchemy and personal transformation recur throughout her collaborative and solo projects.^[2]
