Miriam Arlene Stockley (born 15 April 1962) is a British singer. She was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and her work is influenced by the African music of her home country. Her distinctive vocalise style gained international acclaim when Karl Jenkins launched the Adiemus project with Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary, with Stockley as the lead singer.
