BIO |
Adella Rudnitzky is an Argentine singer, guitarist, and songwriter, born on August 9 in Palermo, Buenos Aires.
Currently the lead guitarist and collaborator for Latin pop icon Paulina Rubio, she has worked with major artists and bands across the international music scene.
She began playing guitar at age 9, and for her 11th birthday she asked for an electric guitar, captivated by the sounds of Slash, Richie Sambora, Queen, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and the hard rock of the 1980s.
After finishing high school, she auditioned for the TV reality show Escalera a la Fama, created by the producers of Popstars, and was selected out of 10,500 applicants to be one of the featured contestants on Argentina’s Canal 13.
Soon after, she was invited by Zeta Bosio (bassist of Soda Stereo) to record vocals on the album Soda Stereo Lounge Versions, and also joined La Zimbabwe Reggae Band as guitarist under the invitation of its frontman, Chelo Delgado.
After the show, she spent a season in Mexico, performing across several states with local musicians. Upon returning to Buenos Aires, she formed her own band “Adella Project” and made her solo debut in June 2006 with original songs blending rock, pop, soul, blues, and funk—performing in the most iconic venues in the city.
In 2009, she released her EP Rock&Love through Warner Chappell, co-produced with Diego Blanco (Los Pericos), launching a new era with the release of her first video clip, “Creador,” in 2010.
In 2011, she won the national contest Bombardeo del Demo organized by FM Rock & Pop, gaining thousands of fan votes and earning a spot at the Ciudad Emergente Festival in Buenos Aires.
She was part of the “Tribute to Pappo” at Tecnópolis and The Roxy Live, sharing the stage with legends such as Alambre González, Claudio Marciello, Miguel Botafogo, and La Renga.
Since then, she has remained a key member of “La Roca Industrial,” a band composed of top Argentine rock guitarists, born from that tribute.
In 2012, she released her second video clip More and joined Paulina Rubio as guitarist for her “Brava Tour,” marking a new chapter that led her to relocate permanently to Mexico City.
Adella has performed at the Latin Billboard Music Awards, The X Factor (USA), Latin American Music Awards, Marlins Park Grand Slam Latino, Dodgers Stadium, Premios Tu Mundo, Premios PLATINO, Teletón (Chile, Mexico, USA), Sirius XM NYC, and more, across Latin America, the U.S., and Europe.
She has also been invited on stage by renowned Argentine bands Los Pericos and Catupecu Machu during their shows in Mexico City.
In 2014, she was a semifinalist on the TV Azteca reality show México Tiene Talento.
In 2015, she joined the Mexican glam rock band Moderatto as a featured guitarist and performer.
In 2016, she took part in the “M&M” tour—Magneto & Mercurio’s major comeback.
She collaborated with Chilean pop-rock band Kudai in their emotional reunion at Mexico City’s historic Teatro Metropólitan.
In 2018, she joined Aleks Syntek for part of his Transatlántico Tour.
In 2019, she returned to the road with Paulina Rubio’s Deseo Tour across the United States.
In 2020, she supported legendary Spanish artist Iván in his comeback tour, remembered for hits like “Te Quiero Tanto,” “Fotonovela,” and “Baila.”
During the global pandemic, Adella returned to her solo career with the release of her single El Respaldo de Tu Cama.
In 2022, she toured the U.S. with Perrísimas Tour, a massive collaboration between two Spanish-language music icons, Paulina Rubio and Alejandra Guzmán, performing 23 SOLD OUT shows.
She was also invited to join the House Band for A Tiny Audience – Season 3, directed by Tim Mitchell (Shakira). This intimate acoustic music and interview series—aired on HBO U.S., TNT México, and DirecTV LatAm—featured artists like Jon Secada, Becky G, Leslie Grace, Danna Paola, Robin Thicke, Justin Quiles, Aleks Syntek (with whom she sang a powerful duet of “Duele el Amor”), and more.
Later that year, she released her single and video clip Ya No Quiero Tu Amor, filmed and recorded in Miami, available on all major platforms.
In 2024, she returned to A Tiny Audience – Season 4 (upcoming), and is currently working on her new solo project while also performing in Paulina Rubio’s Golden Hits Tour.
