  • Adjenai [ah ∙ juh ∙ nay] is an LA-based musician. Having spent their adolescent years traveling with nomadic parents, Adjenai's music is inspired by a desire for connection and communication. Adjenai writes about the intricacies of the human experience, the relationships we form, and how we impact each other. Pulling sonic influence from contemporary R&B, blues rock, and alt-pop, Adjenai's genre-blending music feels like calling a friend after a night out - a hazy, frantic expression of sincerity.

    Adjenai is a Hedgebrook writing residency alumna and a YoungArts alumna in Voice and Songwriting. They are the creator of “MENTAL.”, a limited-run zine highlighting and interviewing queer/BIPOC creatives on mental health, intersectional identities, and art.

    Currently, Adjenai manages indie label and licensing company, 370 Music Group, writes and curates playlists for the monthly “Feelings” newsletter on Substack, and is producing on their debut record set to release in 2026. You can listen to their previously released projects wherever you stream your music.

    Likes: Journaling, libraries, dogs, low lighting, haikus, and stand-up comedy.
    Dislikes: Crowded grocery store aisles, the fact that “aisle” is spelled like that, wasps.
