Adriana Kaegi (born 1957 in Switzerland) moved to New York City at the age of 18 to learn the art of entertainment. She co-founded the band Kid Creole and the Coconuts together with (ex-husband) August Darnell and Coati Mundi (both formerly of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band).
Her contribution helped land the British Music Award for Best International Live Act and such a-list appearances with the band as The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, the movie Against All Odds, the presidential inauguration of George Bush Sr., a benefit hosted by Princess Diana (Dr. Bernardo), the 40th anniversary of the UN, a performance at Carnegie Hall with Cab Calloway. Adriana also sang with U2, Miguel Bosé, Towa Tei, Vodka Collins and created the all girl band Boomerang.
