Adalita Srsen (/?s??rs?n/, born 25 February 1971 in Geelong, Victoria, Australia), known mononymously as Adalita, is an Australian rock musician who is a founding member of the rock bands Magic Dirt and Bleak Squad, as well as a solo artist. She released her first solo album, Adalita, in 2011 and her second solo album, All Day Venus, in September 2013. She told Triple J's Richard Kingsmill in 2000 that she made her first guitar out of cardboard and wool, before she bought her first acoustic guitar. "I learnt a few chord progressions from a "how to" guitar book and then started writing and recording my own compositions, using two tape decks and layering guitar parts and vocal harmonies." Adalita told Australian Guitar magazine (when she became the first female to grace the magazine's cover) in 2005 that she "was 18 or 19 when I bought my first A$90 acoustic (guitar) for whatever strange reason I bought it for, on a whim. Then I got an electric maybe six months later and started on that – what was that – in like 1989, 1990." In the early 1990s, she formed a band, Deer Bubbles, with Dean Turner. While, this band didn't last long, by 1992, Adalita and Turner, as well as guitarist Daniel Herring, had formed The Jim Jims. Adalita and Turner then formed Magic Dirt following the addition of drummer Adam Robertson.
