Adam read Music at Cambridge University and at the Royal College of Music. As a French hornist he then worked with orchestras including The Royal Opera House, English National Ballet and BBC Concert Orchestra.

Adam's compositions have been given numerous performances in Trinidad and abroad. His 'Little Red Riding Hood' (2011) was made into a book in collaboration with artist Che Lovelace. 'The Old Yard: Portraits of Carnival' (2012) - poetry by Muhammad Muwakil and photography by Maria Nunes - was premiered in 2012. 'The Temple in the Sea' (2013) for solo percussionist - poetry by Sandra Alcosser - was premiered in 2014. Adam's score for 'River of Freedom' (2015) - script by Caitlyn Kamminga - demonstrates his approach to fusing traditional Trinidadian music with Western classical styles. Adam wrote the score to Maria Govan's 2016 movie 'Play the Devil'. 

 

Since 2014, Adam has played tenor-bass steel pan with Massy All Stars Steel Orchestra in the national Panorama championships. He has an interest in the music of Trinidad's Spiritual Baptist faith and took lessons in djembe from a local player. These experiences have had a significant impact on his music.
