recording experience, including TV and radio shows.
responsibility for the guitar parts in Polish productions of “Grease”, “Cats” and “Dance of Vampires”.

Although Adam claims he is a rock guitarist, his skills are diverse, and include fingerstyle acoustic guitar.
After he had heard “The day of fingerpickers took over the world” by Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel in 2005, he began the journey of mastering this style. Recently his hard work was acknowledged by non less than the world famous Tommy Emmanuel, who has invited Adam to take part in the most prestigious guitar event in the world : The CAAS Chet Atkins Appreciation Society in Nashville in July 2009. A fantastic accolade for Adam and recognition from such a fingerstyle guitar master.

Having shared a living between Poland and UK since 2006, Adam is becoming firmly established as a brilliant guitar player, composer, arranger and teacher. His career will surely go from strength to strength.
