2. Adam, born and raised in Chicago, had a
passion for the arts ignited at a young age
through his multicultural neighborhood's
exposure to various forms of art and music.
Growing up in the sounds of Humboldt Park, a
blend of classic rock, country, and Latin music,
Adam's love for music grew. As Hip Hop and
Chicago House music emerged, Adam's
curiosity led him to pursue a deeper
understanding of the industry. With real-world
experience working in some of Chicago's top
recording studios, as well as behind-the-scenes
exposure to video productions, Adam has
developed a diverse skill set, including editing
skills in both audio and video production.
Constantly seeking to push the boundaries and
find new ways to present his projects, Adam
believes teamwork, empathy, professionalism
and a strong desire to succeed are essential for
success in the industry. Confident in his
abilities, Adam continues to strive towards
becoming a polished media editor and creator.
