I have been playing music since my mum gave me a guitar and i stuck a batman sticker on it. My best mate in high school used to play songs to me down the phoneline and taught me some funky riffs, from there it was all about garage band action, living on the coast and feeling the good vibes. I decided to head to Melbourne, the arts capital of Oz. Since 99 i have played alot of cool shows and continue to share the love by busking my originals in the subway tunnels.
One of my passions is running music groups for disabled adults. I’ve been doing this for 6 years, have several groups on the go and i am always looking to form more . I get in and try put a smile on everyone’s faces through introducing people to various types of music, dance, storytelling and songwriting.
Another recent development has been my work as a children’s entertainer. One of my alter ego’s, Captain Adam the pirate has made quite a few appearances now and is a real laugh. For this i write all my own material and have a ball. On occasion i have been known to freestyle vocals either onstage or with crew at parties or in a jam. I live for the spontaneous exploration through music of life, love, loss, protest and hope.
Another huge part of my life is my art. I have a studio at home and enjoy creativity in all forms. In Melbourne i am collaborating with the amazing Stefan Ehrenfeld on varios projects, including two of my music videos, a comic book and some experi(mental) films.
Also for the past 8 years i have been resident painter for The Red Paintings. They are an amazing band formed by a good friend of mine. One day we had a crazy idea that i should to paint onstage to get over an artistic blockage i was having, so i chose a stage name (Ademski Pavirotti) and the experiment began. I listened to the music and tried to express the pure essence of the experience in colour. The show and painting were a success and more and more shows followed. The next thing i know the band is playing in front of huge crowds and i am lucky enough to be amoungst it all creating some of the most exciting art of my life. The energy of shows is incredible, expressive, open, real, provocative, alive . Thankyou for taking an interest in my story.
