“I’ve seen a lot of guys play Sinatra. Adam’s the best” – QUINCY JONES
Born in Kapuskasing, Adam James obtained his bachelor of music degree from McGill University in jazz studies which prepared him to be ready when Frank Sinatra’s family asked Adam to play the role of the legendary crooner in the first musical about his life following his passing in 1999. Adam then shared the stages with Ray Charles, Tony Bennett and Liza Minnelli while he was living in Montreal. With New York calling, Adam studied jazz singing with Mark Murphy and performed in one of the longest running off-Broadway shows of all-time, Our Sinatra. National tours and symphony pops shows took him to California where he made his home in the hills of Hollywood where he spent his time and creative energies performing, co-writing and co-producing music for The Olympics, TV and films. The show will be very fun, festive and improvisational and interactive with the audience!
