The day the founders of “Razorfish” introduced Adriana Kaegi to the Internet back in 1996, she envisioned endless opportunities and explored them with her “Cyber Cabaret,” one of the first interactive live web-casts, (noted by C/net and Yahoo as best live webcast).

This pioneering work was noted by Globix Streaming Media Group, and she became the first online executive producer to bring runway fashion shows live and on-demand from New York, Paris and Milan, working with CNN.com and Style.com, amongst others. 

Adriana, who has earned the nickname the “Queen of Stream,” is still actively producing online video content for her own company Dear Addy Digital Media and Syndication Partners on.AOL.com, Fashion Box TV and.....

FASHION

Kaegi became the first designer to present a hand crocheted accessory line, made from recycled silk. Fashion magazines like Vogue featured one of her hats, worn by pop sensation Jamiroquai. She added a home furnishing collections of pillows and throws that were featured in “The New York Times” and sold in boutiques worldwide.



MUSIC

Swiss-born Adriana Kaegi is a true musical visionary with creative trendsetting records dating back to the early 1980′s when she co-founded, together with August Darnell, and Coati Mundi, the legendary band Kid Creole and the Coconuts.


Her singular contributions as choreographer/costume designer and “Mama Coconut” helped earn the band “Best International Live Act” at the British Music Awards, as well as several gold records. 

Some of the A-list appearances and shows that stand out from the 15 years of touring the world include being on The Tonight Show,  Saturday Night Live, and in the movie Against All Odds, as well as  President Bush Sr.’s White House inauguration, the 40th anniversary of the U.N.,  a benefit hosted by Princess Diana, and a performance at Carnegie Hall with Cab Calloway. 



Music continues to be a part of Adriana’s life, from recently signing “Kid Creole and the Coconuts” to Tommy Boy Entertainment, giving back as performance coach at Lagond Music School, or recording her electronic lounge tracks.



Adriana created her first critically acclaimed solo album “TAG” (best of the month on Amazon), followed by a several singles.

Kaegi’s smooth sound hovers in a sophisticated continental zone set somewhere between electronic lounge and chill-out music.

Adriana has also lent her voice to groups like U2, singing backup on their LP WAR, and other selected artists like Towa Tei.

 

ART

Adriana has a natural eye for details and sees art in everyday life.  She will never leave home without a camera in hand. She likes images to move and created a downloadable slide show for your smart TV, which becomes a canvas when idle. 



Film

She had the foresight to document the “Kid Creole and the Coconuts” musical journey with her ever-present video camera, making reality TV before the term existed. She new full well that one day she would produce “Kid Creole and My Coconuts.” The successful documentary enjoyed 2011 premieres at the New York’s Chelsea Art Museum and Bologna’s Biogram Film Festival in Italy.
