Adreana "Adi" Braun (born November 23, 1962) is a Canadian jazz and cabaret vocalist and composer.
Adi Braun was born in Canada and brought up in Germany. Her family is musical: her parents were professional singers (her father was Victor Braun), and her brother, Russell, is also a singer. She has cited Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Lotte Lenya as influences. After moving to Canada, Braun graduated in music from the University of Toronto, then became involved in the jazz scene in the city. She co-founded Blue Rider Records in the early 2000s.
