Adam WakemanBorn March 11th 1974 into a musical family, Adam began playing classical piano at the age of 8. By 17, he had obtained grade 8 from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and had recorded the first, of what was to become 8 albums with father Rick Wakeman.
Much of the early touring history was with his father Rick and encompassed the UK, Europe, Russia, South America, the US, and Canada varying from the two of them sitting at grand pianos to full scale rock performances with orchestra & choir. At 24 years of age, Adam won the “Best New Talent” award in America's ‘Keyboard' magazine, which saw the beginning of his involvement on the London session scene. He formed Jeronimo Road along with Fraser T-Smith and Damian Wilson which disbanded after 3 live shows, resulting in a live album released in 2005. Along with Wilson, Pete Rinaldi, Lee Pomeroy and Richard Brook, Adam formed the progressive rock band [Headspace] in 2010. As a highly sought after keyboard player & musical director, his career has seen him tour, write and record with some of the biggest selling artists in the recording industry. |
