Hi, I'm Adam!

Music has always been very important to me. My parents met in a drum and bugle corps, and as a small child I used to love going to their rehearsals, standing in front of the horn line and being blasted with the sound. My mother will tell you that every time I went with her to the grocery store, I would sing the jingle of every product we passed. Music is my first language and my first love. 

I began with trumpet in the middle school band, sousaphone in marching band, guitar and bass with a few punk bands in high school and rock bands in college. I love challenging myself by learning new instruments, each one feeling like another language. Now in my late thirties, I aim to create music that preserves and honors all of those musical memories. 

Song and Dance

If music was my first language, dance is how I learned to speak.

Music and movement are inseparable for me. According to my parents, when I was 2 and had to go with my mother to pick up my sister from dance class, they couldn't keep me off the floor. So, that's when I began. Truly, those circumstances were my most formative.  

I continued to study dance for the next 20ish years of my life. Honestly, I don't know what I would be now if I hadn't begun dance training. When I was 8 my dance teacher told us about an audition for a local play, and that introduced me to my next passion. 

Lights and Curtains

I had little to no experience of theatre. But the moment I was on the stage, under the lights, in front of an audience, I knew I had found my home. Throughout middle school and high school I was involved with as many local theatre productions, school musicals, and community theatres as possible. I studied theatre in college, where I learned to love the art more intensely. I began working in the scene shop, learning stagecraft, and the entire world of technical theatre. 

And now, for the past 15 years, I've kept myself happy and busy as a freelance performer, educator, musician, and stagehand. Things got very scary when the industry shut down in 2020, and like most of my colleagues I was out of work for an unknown amount of time. So, I began learning how to record my music from home, creating other content, and livestreaming for an unknown audience. Even with every theatre in the country closed, I knew with more urgency than ever, the show must go on.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been sharing all of my work for free, so if you like my content it would be a huge encouragement if you support me by sending a message or buying me a coffee!

Thank you very kindly, and I hope to see you again after the intermission!
