“We Don’t Talk About Bruno”, but we should be talking about Adassa—the Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe recipient, platinum-selling artist, and the voice of Dolores Madrigal in Encanto. Her story—full of messiness and music, challenges and triumphs, health scares and faith affirmed—is a journey many women and mothers will relate to, even if they have never experienced the specifics quite like Adassa has. She shares it in a new book, Love Keeps Showing Up: Music, Messes, and Miracles (Shadow Mountain, April 7, 2026), which both Disney moms and women's memoir readers will appreciate.
Born to immigrant Colombian parents from humble beginnings, Adassa put in years of hard work and persistence before performing to audiences around the world. In her memoir, she shares how she learned that faith, family, and community can carry us through life’s difficult seasons; what do you do when your faith and persistence are challenged, and you feel lost, hurt, and ready to give up?
Balancing a professional career, unexpected health issues, and motherhood, it’s a resounding journey of resilience—with a soundtrack! Inside-the-book QR codes connect to 12 original songs, creating a complete experience.
Given that Adassa has achieved her success while also being a mom to SEVEN, her book and story is also timely for Mother's Day coverage.
