Self-taught pianist, music maker and verbophile. After composing scores for film and theater, Adaam James has produced two albums of original indie-rock-ish music. He is currently working on a third with his NY-based band, LOST AMSTERDAM. Slyly, his dangerously addictive melodies veer from the delicate to the explosive, his lyrics from the fragile to the acerbic. Adaam James completed a Master's in journalism at Columbia University and currently works at CNN, New York. He freelances for PrimeMind and Haaretz. He's notably zealous about coffee and irony.
