Australia's Ivy Adara is an emotive pop vocalist and songwriter. Born in 1995, Adara became interested in performing at a young age and was writing her own songs before she was a teenager. In 2016, she came to the public's attention after competing on the eighth season of the Australian version of The X Factor. Although she did not make it past the early rounds, she earned a standing ovation from judge Guy Sebastian. Over the next year, she relocated to Los Angeles and began working on her debut album. During this period, she also co-wrote songs for Dami IM, Natalie Conway, Jessica Mauboy, and others. In 2017, Adara delivered her debut single, "Famous." ~ Matt Collar
