Singer-songwriter Nekiya Ade was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. From those streets to the stage of the El Rey Theatre (opening for Grammy-winning artist Mya), Ade assembled a “Tribe” armed with her signature “Adetude.”    Her Tribe is fearless. Her Tribe is rebellious.  Ade’s debut EP LIT (2017) was followed by two singles in 2018, “A Way to Your Heart” and “Who She.”  “Who She” signaled Ade’s shift toward the everywoman and gave her Tribe an empowered retro hip-hop anthem to rail against the patriarchy. In 2019, she returned to the studio for a collaboration with Strokes and I.Am.Ueno for “Boyz Come and Go.”  Lyrically, she declared, “I’ma give what you ask for, real talk. You don’t know what you in for.”  Her Tribe got hungry.  So Ade began preparing her next EP, Appetizer (set to serve in 2020). Appetizer was designed to whet the palates of the Tribe for what’s to come – to relate Ade to her Tribe - to grow her Tribe – and to be more honest about her experience.
