The "viral duet king" Adam (Bronx, New York) is more than just another pop voice on the scene, and his accomplishments - from having the "Ultimate Sexiest Video" on Logo, to scoring a Top 20 Billboard club hit with Kathy Sledge (of Sister Sledge), to his iTunes Top 100 duets with Margaret Cho and Pandora Boxx - reflect that in spades. He is about to bring fun to pop music, and a style never before seen blending comedy with dance and outrageouness. He's performed on The Howard Stern Show, featured on TMZ, E!, Radar, Out.com, US Magazine, OK Magazine, the NY Post, The Advocate, & many, many more!
In Spring 2006 his dance single, I Wanna Hold You, was heard in Abercrombie & Fitch stores throughout the country. The debut music video then hit the #1 spot on MTV Logo network's "Click List Countdown" that August, and was one of the Top 10 videos of 2007 on the network. Adam was one of the original stars on the network, and voted favorite Click List artist of 2007, and landed on afterElton.com's Hot 100 [celebrity list] for 2008. Adam's next single, Standing in the Rain, with DJ Russ Harris, was the named the #1 "Ultimate Sexiest Video" on Logo. DJ Times Magazine called him "one of the strongest male vocalists in 2007".

He then went on to host the March 11th (2009) episode of Pop Lab's Spring Break Edition, following past week's host, Beyonce.
Needing a steady follow up, his song VIP premiered on HBO in June of 2010 on the music show "Feedback", and Adam became a staple on HBO for the next two years, his music videos being shown in between movies. VIP was also the #2 music video on Logo's Click List Countdown Top 10 Videos of 2010, while Standing in the Rain was picked as an official "fist pumping beat" by NY's #1 hit music station, Z100. VIP (and another single, Q&A) made its way onto TV, and was featured heavily on two seasons of Oxygen's hit reality show "Bad Girls Club", MTV's "The Real World", & Showtime's "Real L Word". Adam then worked with Kathy Sledge (lead singer of Sister Sledge) on a song called Give Yourself Up, which hit Top 20 on the Billboard club chart in October 2011. The song was featured in the 2014 movie "Don Jon". The music video was featured on TMZ when Adam was seen with a bevvy of reality stars. Following in that vein, he released a music video for Q&A, featuring Lisa Lampanelli. He then, in 2012, signed with GR Media firm and recorded a new single with Nadya Suleman, aka, Octomom, called Sexy Party. The CD cover stirred up controversy when Adam was seen holding Octomom's breasts and made international headlines. In the Fall he was involved in a controversial debate with Angelina Pivarnick from The Jersey Shore on deeyoon.com where he defended gay marriage.

In July he released a parody song and video w/RuPaul's Drag Race All-Star, Pandora Boxx, called "You Seemed Shady to Me" which hit #46 on the iTunes Comedy singles chart.
