Oh, and head on over to his website; he's being super cool and giving it to you for free! Now, listen and enjoy!

Q & A with Neo-Funk Rock Violinist Adia
I recently got turned on to the work of neo-funk rock violinist Adia. The Chicago based musician caught my ear with her insane skill. Her violin sings and wails like an electric guitar and left me saying 'hold up, I've gotta hear that again!' My curiosity was peaked and you all know what happens when I’m curious, I ask questions. We sent some questions over to Adia and this is the result of our e-chat.
Quirky NY Chick (QNYC): Tell us a little about yourself. How did you get started playing violin?
Adia: I began playing the violin when I was 3 ½. I was always musical, singing or sounding out melodies on the piano, so my mom decided to put me in violin lessons. I really enjoyed playing it and fell in love.
(QNYC): How would you describe your sound to those who may be unfamiliar with your work?
Adia: Its basically a reflection of my diverse background, a mix of alternative rock and soul and funk I grew up with. I like to call it neo soul rock.
