About Me

Welcome to the world of Adam Shenk, and his brand of “neo-pop,” which fuses together elements of R&B, pop, and neo-soul. Adam, who was chosen last year as a semi-finalist on MTV’s “Making the Band 4,” is said to have that “intangible something that electrifies a room when he shares his music.”
Adam is proud to present his first effort, "If Ya Like This," an EP of original songs, recorded in 2007 with a live band in Boston, MA, while he was finishing school. He assembled a fine team of musicians, engineers, designers, photographers, and put his heart and fire into this project.
In February of last year, Adam was flown to New York, along with 58 other young men from across the country, to participate in the semi-final round of auditions for MTV’s “Making the Band 4.” He worked closely with Laurieann Gibbons, Michael Bivens, and other top industry professionals, and sang for P. Diddy. Although he wasn’t chosen for the show, he was seen on the season’s first episode.
Adam started singing original songs into his tape recorder at the age of 3, and his hunger for performing took him to the American Boychoir School at 12, where he honed his skills as a musician and toured the world. He studied dance and theater at Interlochen Center for the Arts and Boston Conservatory, but his love for music and songs led him to Berklee College of Music, where he received a Bachelor of Music in Songwriting.
Adam plans to use his diverse skills within the arts to cross over to many mediums. Although singing is his first love, he loves and respects the worlds of dance, visual art, and theater, and plans to somehow combine all those elements to create "beautiful multi-media experiences that stimulate the senses and engage the emotions."
