My musical journey began in the small town of Kuztown, Pennsylvania when I was 8 years old. Although I had been singing since I was quite young, my piano lessons with my first teacher are what sparked my interest in music. After playing for six years, I started taking voice lessons when I was 14 and was well on my way to immersing myself into all kinds of musical acitivities from high school music ensembles, to performing in church, to giving private lessons, to writing and performing my own music. ​

I first began to write music during my freshman year of high school. I've essentially been working on my first album since that time, although the idea of an album didn't manifest until later in high school. Being able to convey emotions and experiences in the form of music is a very exciting thing and allows me to express myself in a specific way. I love listening to piano pop/rock music, especially Billy Joel, Elton John, and Jon McLaughlin. I am fascinated with their styles of music, each having their own unique and diverse qualities while all featuring the piano in rock and pop genres. Some of my other favorite musicians and bands include The City Harmonic, David Gray, and Coldplay. ​

I am currently studying music education (and music) at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pennsylvania. I plan on graudating in 2015 with a B.S. in Music Education and a B.A. in Music with a voice concentration. My life goal is to help people, specifically children and young adults, to understand the role music plays in their lives and how it can inspire them. I hope to become a music educator, whether that is in a public school, church setting, or in some other form, and I hope to continue writing music.

I have been very blessed with a passion for music, a phenomenal education, and most of all an incredibly loving family who has supported me throughout my entire life. Music is one of the most powerful things on earth, so I encourage everyone to explore how it affects you. What role does music play in your life? How do you use music as a form of expression? How can music have a positive impact on you? Remember, music speaks where words cannot, so let the music speak!
Adam began writing music during high school and is currently working on his first EP, Let the Music Speak. His strongest influences have been Billy Joel, Elton John, and Jon McLaughlin, admiring both the keyboard and vocal abilities, as well as their styles of music. Adam loves that music offers limitless ways to express oneself and he believes that “music speaks where words cannot, so let the music speak.”
