ADAM IS A GIRL is an indie pop band from Berlin, fronted by singer-songwriter Anja Adam and supported by drummer Alex Pierschel and guitarist Sunil Shakya. The band was founded by Anja and Alex in 2011 and released their first album „Of Daydreams and Nightmares“ in 2013. The song „Soldier“ from their EP [s] released in 2016 was impressively staged by the video artist Rafal Drosik and caught the attention of the German electro-pop scene. That was the start for ADAM IS A GIRL's stage career.
