Adrienne “Adie” Camp (née Liesching; born 12 July 1981) is a South African singer and songwriter, who is known as the lead singer of the Christian pop-rock band the Benjamin Gate before the group disbanded in 2003. She briefly contributed to other artist’s albums, namely her duet with rapper John Reuben featured on his album Professional Rapper and her background vocals on husband Jeremy Camp‘s albums Restored and Live Unplugged, after the Benjamin Gate disbanded.
Under the name Adrienne Camp, she released her debut solo album Don’t Wait on 26 September 2006 on Capitol CMG. The album was co-produced by her husband Jeremy Camp. Her song “Your Way” climbed into the Top 15 on R&R Magazine’s Christian chart in May 2007. Her second album, Just You and Me, was released on 9 March 2010.
Personal life
In December 2003, Liesching married American musician, Jeremy Camp. The couple met on a three-month-long tour in 2002. They have three children.
Voice
Todd Hertz of Christianity Today described Camp’s voice as “lovely and ferocious,” a “strange combination of Bjork‘s quavering and the power of Shirley Manson.” A reviewer writing for the Daily Herald of Arlington Heights, Illinois described Camp’s voice as evocative of Gwen Stefani, Aimee Echo, Christina Aguilera, and Shakira, all the while “remaining very unique and distinctive.”

WTD Context: From The Benjamin Gate to a Solo Voice
Adrienne Camp sits at an interesting junction in Christian alternative music. Before her solo work, she was the distinctive lead voice of South African Christian pop-rock band The Benjamin Gate, whose early-2000s run placed her firmly in the guitar-driven side of the scene. Her later recordings under her own name moved into a more personal CCM and pop-rock setting without disconnecting from that earlier history.
For Waken The Dead, that link matters. Camp’s catalogue connects a turn-of-the-millennium alternative band with the broader Christian music world that followed. Her solo albums Don’t Wait and Just You and Me, alongside later worship work with Jeremy Camp, show a career that continued beyond The Benjamin Gate rather than simply ending with the band’s breakup. That makes her page a useful bridge between WTD’s band history and the wider network of artists who moved between alternative rock, CCM and worship music.
