The voice of Dolores in Disney's Encanto. Mother of seven. Colombian-American storyteller. Nashville, Tennessee.
Born to Colombian immigrant parents with big dreams and little in their pockets, Adassa learned early that making it as an artist was about grit, faith, and a whole lot of improvising. Together with her husband and music director Gabriel Candiani, she paid her dues on stages in Texas and Mexico before landing her first solo record deal — and eventually becoming the voice behind one of Disney's most beloved characters.
When COVID left her paralyzed from the neck down, Adassa faced her greatest challenge. What followed was proof that God's timing is always perfect.
“Adassa's fans will relish reading about the messiness and miracles in her musical life.”— Booklist
