Today we’d like to introduce you to Adrianna Foster.
Adrianna, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I have been singing professionally since I was 13 years old. In the year 2000, I moved to Miami to pursue my singing career devoting myself entirely to music. Personal development and self-help has always been my passion and my way of healing since I had been diagnosed with chronic depression and anxiety when I was 8 years old and struggled in my adolescence with the same issue, getting to a crisis when I was 18 years old that led me to attempt suicide. That was a catalyst in my life that allowed me to choose to create change in my reality and my thoughts and led me to look for options to heal myself. In 2007 I started my motivational journey getting certified as an astrological advisor and using astrology as a science of self-knowledge. It became my hobby and I kept trying and studying new modalities as Hypnosis, NLP, EMDR to help myself and to help others.
In the meantime my professional life, at that time, was still focused just in music and in 2008 I released my first album in the latin american market named “Esperandote”. From this album my fist single (pienso en ti) reached top levels of popularity including billboard and other music charts. I toured all over latin america and USA and had opportunity to share stages with big names in the industry as Jose Jose, Franco de Vita, Oscar D’ Leon, Francisco Cespedes amongst others. In 2009 me and my husband founded a recording studio where we created productions and worked with big names in the industry. In 2012 I had my baby girl, her name is Maya.
In 2013 I moved to Mexico to release my second production and the fist single (Toda de ti) also reached top levels in radio and media all over latin and south america. At that time I found myself in a very tight financial position since me and my husband lost all our capital in a business that he was founding so In November 21st, 2014 we came back form Mexico with $50 dls on our pockets and 3 bags, that is all we had. I called that episode my REBIRTH.
The very next day I had a vision of continuing my path in a very different way than what I was doing up until that moment. I decided to create the REBIRTH movement where Music and personal development will merge to inspire others into achieving their dreams and being the best version of themselves. I opened up my private office of Hypnotherapy and coaching as well as started performing in different corporate and public events with the Motivational Music Concept. In December 2015 I did my first “Motivational Concert Experience” where I presented the experience of being guided through beautiful music and motivational talks into a self-introspection journey where the audience had breakthroughs and an amazing time.
It was a huge success, that led me to create a 2016 Motivational Concert Experience Tour where I partnered up with different non-profit and profit organizations to create these events. Some of my partners and clients where: The Office Depot Foundation, Park Project, Grupo Modelo, Diageo, Eat Better Live Better, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, The business Forum Group, City Of Doral, 100+women who care, amongst others. During this time I also grew my practice and helped hundreds of people to overcome struggles and challenges like depression, anxiety and grief through a method I developed named “Breakthrough Hypnosis”. In 2017 I released my first Motivational Music Album which its first single was chosen by the Office Depot Foundation to be the Anthem of the “Difference Maker Movement”.
I decided to take my motivational music one step further and created the “Experiential Workshops” where people had hands on work to do surrounded by live music at all times. In March 2018 I recorded and released my 2nd Motivational Music Album, a LIVE Motivational Concert Experience Where I speak and sing about the steps to healing and understanding our emotional health. In April I will be launching my LOUD WOMEN program, a series of masterclasses designed to support young women age 14 to 24 to launch into adulthood, where music and personal development as well as hypnosis techniques will be present and will create the healthy environment these women need.
My youtube channel has over 5 million views and more than 13,000 suscribers and my purpose is and will always be to be the Voice of healing so people can remember who they are and become the best version of themselves.
Has it been a smooth road?
Hell NO! I struggled with depression and anxiety most of my adolescent years and part of my 20s. I was extremely bullied most of my childhood. I suffered mental, emotional, sexual and physical abuse. I attempted suicide when I was 18 years old. I lost all my money twice and was evicted from 3 apartments. I separated from my husband and got back together.
I had to introduce the concept of “Motivational Music” into corporations and non-profits for them to understand the power this could have in live events (that is still my challenge). I struggle every day with the misconceptions about Hypnosis and astrology in the comunity. Being 31 years old and a woman is a challenge in any entrepreneurial environment.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Adrianna Foster story. Tell us more about the business.
I am a Motivational Singer and a breakthrough hypnotherapist and my mission is to be the VOICE of healing so people can remember WHO THEY ARE and become the BEST version of themselves. I specialize in emotional health and guiding people into having awareness of WHAT is stoping them from having what they want.
I am known for being the only crazy woman that SINGS everywhere she goes: business meetings, board meetings, BNI meetings, networking events, public speaking engagements, hypnosis sessions… pretty much everywhere. I BELIEVE that music can connect in ways that words can’t and my voice is my way of serving others. I truly believe God speaks and sings through me.
I am super proud that I have helped and keep helping so many people to HEAL childhood trauma and that every time I speak or sing in any event I inspire people to dig a little deeper into themselves, to connect with their authentic self, to hear there inner authentic voice where their dreams are waiting to be heard. I feel that I am an instrument of God and in not so many years I have been able to impact hundreds of people and inspire them to remember their greatness and light.
I am also proud of how resilient, committed and passionate I am. People feel that and they trust me, they open up and that is how they are able to heal.
What sets me apart from others is that I will always use music, no mater what we are doing. You can be in a workshop, mastermind, masterclass, talk, session or conversation with me and I will ALWAYS sing! lol
Where do you see your industry going over the next 5-10 years? Any big shifts, changes, trends, etc?
I am committed to serving humanity through my voice. I BELIEVE that the CORE of our society is having awareness towards the IMPORTANCE of emotional health.
Childhood trauma is the cause of many unhealthy behaviors found in ourselves as well as our society. We are a source of everything that happens in the world and I believe that change is in each and every one of us. WE CAN ALL CHANGE THE WORLD and I am committed to being part of that movement.
In 5 years I see myself performing all over the world with my Motivational Concert Experience tour where I bring awareness to people on HOW AMAZING they are, Through my voice and music I guide them to their inner light and I inspire them to SERVE the world with it.
In 10 years I see myself creating a MOVEMENT where other artists join me in creating awareness of what we can all do as a team. I see “Motivational Music” as a Category in the Grammys and inspiring other artists to join the movement and spread motivation and inspiration through music.
I also want to open up a center of emotional health where we heal childhood trauma, having workshops, retreats, seminars, one on one sessions as well as helping the community in a non-profit where we can prevent those issues by educating parents and our society.
I also see myself supporting my daughter in whatever her dreams are with a happy and healthy home.
