RECORDS

ADE. J Records was a DIY Reggae label. Formed by Jean Adebambo. It managed one single. It issued singles in an AJ-100 numerical series. Distributed By ADE J Records. Jean Adebambo was born in Islington, London, to a Montserratian mother and a Nigerian father. Her entry into the music business was by chance; She was invited to do a cover version of two records entitled "Again" and "Reunited" by Ital Records in the early 1980s, while she was studying to be a nurse. She eventually met the Jamaican producer Leonard Chin, for whom she recorded the single "Paradise", and had a successful solo career, mainly recording for her own Ade J label. A string of hits followed such as the singles "Reaching For A Goal", "Hardships of Life" and "Pipe Dreams". Despite all the success, Adebambo quit the music industry and went back into the medical profession and became a health visitor in Bermondsey. A successful lovers rock concert was held in 2008 at the Brixton Academy, where Adebambo was persuaded to perform and restart her music career; however, she was found dead on 15 January 2009, aged 46. A tribute concert was held on at Hackney Empire on Sunday 15 March 2009, with the aim of raising funds to help raise her two daughters.
