Bio



Adam is constantly singing, writing songs or performing, and this has been the case since his parents witnessed Adam's gift at three years old singing original songs into a tape recorder. At the age of 11, he earned a spot in Princeton, New Jersey’s prestigious American Boychoir School,  which lead to world-wide touring. He also studied at the Interlochen Center  for the Arts in Michigan, and then the Boston Conservatory and  Berklee College of Music, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree  in Songwriting.  Adam was a semi-finalist in MTV’s popular “Making  the Band 4”, where he performed for host P. Diddy and worked with  both choreographer Laurieann Gibson and New Edition/Bell Biv DeVoe  member and manager/producer Michael Bivins. Empowered by this experience, Adam recorded and released his first album, “If Ya Like This."

“Suitcases,” his second album released May 2010, is about transition  and change – packed with instant hooks, indelible choruses and universal themes, meshing pop and soul with shades of jazz.  Adam has performed at Pianos NYC, Rockwood Music  Hall, Bowery Poetry Club, Canal Room and Bitter End.  His music  also appears on television shows and in movies, including MTV’s The  Real World and Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  Adam loves  connecting with music, dance and writing – the full circle of creative processes. “I’ve been told this career is a marathon, not a race,” he  shares. “I look forward to so much more… love, joy, art and music.”

What people are saying...

“Brooklyn is full of musicians convincing audiences of the newly found fun of forgotten pop music trends. While this spirit certainly animates the anachronistic R&B and neo-soul sound of songs Suitcases and Taste, the sincerity of Adam's incredibly enthusiastic delivery will make you think he came up with these styles himself...and through his own unique reinventions, he has.”
The Deli NY

“Adorable singer- songwriter”
Time Out New York

“Forget the hipsters. Shenk is the new NYC!”
Artistdirect

“His R&B hooks, mellifluous vocals and awesome dance moves make him into some sort of ‘90s übermensch. He has all the best things from the era without any its weaknesses.”
Aquarian Weekly

“Adam is the ultimate performer. Aside from his boy-band worthy looks, throwback hair designs and awesome dance moves, his lyrics truly captivate his audience and bring them exactly to where he wants them to go”
Baeble.com

“Adam Shenk throws a little bit of everything at his live performance”
I Heard They Suck Live

“This is a new kind of blue eyed soul/singer-songwriter thing from a youngster that comes to this honestly since he was making up his own songs before he was old enough to know what he was doing.”
Midwest Record

“Among so many hundreds of seasoned artists that I've witnessed over the past 15 years, few possess the innate talent, showmanship and parcel of savvy songs that up and comer Adam Shenk displayed”
The Smoking Nun, Chuck Taylor’s (formerly of Billboard) Live Review
