Vocal Specialist Adam Lopez began singing at the age of three and was brought up performing Flamenco, Jazz, Classical, Musical Theatre and Pop. After studying Opera for five years at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Adam developed his virtuosic, multi-octave, vocal range which lead to smashing two Guinness World Records in the category of ‘Singing the highest vocal note by a male singer’. The record note is C sharp in the 8th octave (one note above the range of a piano!)

This achievement has astounded audiences from all around the world leading him to perform for Japan, Spain, Italy, Korea and Hong Kong. Adam’s vocal artistry has paved opportunities to perform backing vocals for some of the biggest names in the music industry such as Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and The Corrs. His most recent collaboration in concert and in studio recording is with Australian Jazz legend James Morrison.

Adam plans to continue song writing, recording and performing in the professional Music Industry to pass on his knowledge and experience to his ASTA and vocal students at Sheldon College.
