Her debut album, Who's the Clown, was released in 2025, but she has writing credits on many of her best friend Gracie Abrams' hit songs, like That's So True.



  • Adela Jergova

After beginning her career in KATSEYE's Dream Academy, Jergova found herself best-suited for a solo career and she was right. Her EP The Provocateur came out in 2025, and she is about to head to tour with Demi Lovato.
