Adam’s
musical experiences and endeavors began while growing up;
listening to whatever caught his ear on the radio. From popular
music to rap to oldies to metal, Adam looks back knowing that
there was something about music that sparked his soul. Early
on he would walk through the halls of Mt. Sinai middle school
singing aloud his favorite songs.
It was in that same school where Adam began
his formal training. He started on the trumpet in 7th grade
at the age of 14 and continued playing and studying through
high school until his junior year when he switched to the
baritone horn. Adam found this to be a welcome change because
of the similarities he found between the baritone and the
bass. (He had taken up the electric bass on his own some 2
1/2 years earlier) “The baritone horn had the range
and capability to play both traditional “bass”
parts and higher range melodies, a concept that so many players
have brought to the electric bass.
While in high school Adam also began his vocal
training, singing in the schools chorus and Madrigal choir.
On bass he accompanied the schools jazz choir and played in
the schools jazz band and pit orchestra.
Upon graduating from Mt. Sinai high school Adam
enrolled at Five Towns College where he majored in music performance.
This gave him the opportunity to continue to further explore
music and related areas, as well as encounter new ones. By
the time Adam had earned his degree he had already been performing
regularly with a440 and continues to do so now with U-Melt.
“I’m just happy to be here. We
just got to take it one show at a time and God willing things
will work out.”
