Opportunity soon presented itself in Monterrey, Mexico, in professional show bands, which offered invaluable performance/showmanship training and practice. Soon thereafter, Adassa released her debut solo record, the self-produced Down South. Sold out of backpacks and car trunks, the record created enough buzz to gain the notice of underground label Hoodlum Records, with whom she released a self-titled follow-up project. Local radio and word-of-mouth success paved the road for the Miami-produced On the Floor, her first album to gain national distribution. Touring alongside big-name reggaeton artists soon followed. Performing on the same bill with Daddy Yankee, Ivy Queen, Don Omar, and others brought Adassa to the nation's attention. Kamasutra, released in 2005 by Universal Latino, generated the hit song De Tra, and introduced Adassa as a major player in the reggaeton genre. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, Rovi
