Adam Irizarry (also known as singer/songwriter Adam Michaelson) is a
pianist, singer, songwriter, and composer originally from The Bronx in
New York City. Adam began playing piano at the age of 2, and was
fortunate to have parents who encouraged and nurtured his talent,
putting him in formal music school at the age of 5. Though he began
his studies in classical music, his penchant for improvisation soon
led him to jazz music. Already an accomplished pianist by his teens,
Adam met a game changing mentor when he came under the tutelage of
revolutionary pianist, Kenny Werner, with whom he studied for many
years. As a singer/songwriter, Adam went in the direction of rock with
his original music, performing at all the well known clubs in New
York.
After graduating from Manhattan School of Music, where he studied
piano and voice, Adam appeared on Broadway in the lead role of "The
Piano Man", in the hit Billy Joel Broadway musical, "Movin' Out",
while he was an understudy for the role. A few years later, Adam
played the roll of Burt Bacharach in the Shirelles musical, "Baby It's
You", at the Pasadena Playhouse, where in addition to starring in the
show, Adam was also the musical director and arranger.
Now a resident of Los Angeles, Adam tours and performs all over the
world as a singer, songwriter, and pianist. In 2016, Adam joined the
Windborne Music team, and he finds these shows to be some of the most
rewarding and fun experiences he's ever had touring and performing.
When not on tour with Windborne, Adam is at home in Los Angeles
writing and performing his songs, and composing original music for TV
and Film.
