About the Artist
Adam is a true performer at heart. He started out humbly, born in Bronx, New York where he would put on concerts where ever he could get the chance - be it his own living room or his grammar school. He would sing for his friends, family and eventually performed in concert at his graduation ceremony in 8th grade at St. Clare's School in the Bronx. When he was 11, he got the chance to appear on a local children's TV show called Steampipe Alley with Mario Cantone. Mario clearly loved him calling him "bright, funny, and... a whiz!". "That was significant to me, because it the one show I did that my dad got to watch before he passed away [in 1995]." When he was in high school he was introduced to his first mentor, screen actress Sandra Rose, who helped him get started in the entertainment business. With her guidance, shortly after he landed a role on the fX TV show Family Business with Jeff Probst, and was guest hosting Newstalk TV's Teen Segment .

Ready for bigger things, he left for Miami for a year to pursue a career in modeling in South Beach. There, he landed his first big stage performance, starring in the play Love Allways opposite Latina superstar Tessie Santiago. After getting the theatre bug, his agent recommended him to move back to NYC to conquer the theatre world there. Upon returning he landed a breakthrough role in the controversial and critically acclaimed play Befriending Beau , about three neglected teens in an LA suburb. Adam soon then reached cult star status, and reprised the role of Tash for two more off-Broadway runs, eventually leading him to meet NY music critic Chip Deffaa, who cast him in his first off-Broadway musical revue, Mad About the Boy .

Mad About the Boy was acclaimed by such Broadway greats like Tony winner Tommy Tune and Adam starred aside powerhouses such as Baby Jane Dexter and Karen Oberlin. He recently recorded the cast album which is expected to be nominated for a slew of theatre awards. Keeping busy, Adam also managed to appear as a regular on the sketch comedy show Shameless and did spots on Strangers With Candy and Upright Citizen's Brigade on Comedy Central.

Releasing his first single, he is very passionate about his music. "Music, to me, is art. Any style, any place, pure and simple. Performing, singing and creating music are the things I love the most.". Bringing an R&B edge to a pop landscape, Adam describes his music as "a hybrid of styles with one powerful voice behind it". His musical influences run the gamut from Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera to Cyndi Lauper, Missy Elliot and Leeann Rhymes.

His first single I Told Her is a power ballad that he hopes will help those lonely souls getting over a bad breakup. "The song is about realizing that someone you want to be with more than nothing else in the world doesn't return your feelings, and that is one of the most painful things you can experience. For me, music can ease the pain and is a portal of release for it. I hope my music can do the same for others". The single is being released on the VC2America label on September 20th , 2003.

Presently, Adam resides in the Bronx with his mom and is finishing up his degree in liberal studies with a concentration in theatre at SUNY Purchase College. In his studies there, he trained with Cid Coughlin who helped him perfect the "performance" aspect of singing. "In all the schools I've attended, SUNY Purchase has been the most beneficial, welcoming, and helpful to me as a student." He has also studied with Broadway conductor Darren Cohen.

Adam is expected to be signed to a major label and releasing his first full album in 2004. Adam enjoys going to the beach, amusement parks, and his "favorite thing in the world" - " Buffy The Vampire Slayer ". His dream girl, favorite actress, and passion is none other then Sarah Michelle Gellar herself. The most important woman in his life though, he says, is his mom. "My mom and dad have given me all the tool

Customer Reviews

Horrible--no way is this five stars, more like ZERO STARS
There is really no other way of saying this--this sucks. I would rather stick my head in a blender than listen to this crap any longer. I hope Adam is reading this because he needs to seriously consider a career change. Also, who is he trying to fool? "I Told Her?" More like "I Told Him", if you ask me.

Terrible song, singer can't handle bad reviews like a man

First off, let me say that I am huge fan of pop music, and I'm always willing to give an up-and-comer a shot at my listening ear.  I went to his website to watch the video, and about 10 seconds into this song, I was extremely tempted to destroy my computer altogether to contain the wretched taint of this song, for fear of infecting the rest of my office with this GARBAGE. 

However, I toughed it out and got through the rest of the song, almost getting fired from my job because of how loudly I was LAUGHING at how horribly off pitch Adam was and how awful the song was.  The melody (if one could even call it that) did not match the background chords at all, and even when it did, you couldn't tell because Adam was extremely flat on about 90% of the notes in this song.

I just read that this guy is also working towards a bachelor's degree at some state college--let me say, good move on his part, because otherwise, the only job he'll get in the entertainment industry is fetching coffee for interns.  Save your money, save your ears--DO NOT BUY or support this travesty to the art of pop music, unless all you want out of the CD is a good laugh or a coaster for your beverage

No good
Ask yourself, have you ever seen this many 5 star ratings that are completely glowing for a no name artist? Hmm, perhaps someone *cough* *cough* is trying to dilute honest opinions from REAL reviewers.

Follow these steps:
1. go to www.adambarta.com
2. view the video for "I Told Her"
3. stop laughing
4. seriously, stop laughing
5. decide whether you would like to purchase the cd

As for me, I've decided NOT to purchase this album.

As a word of advice for those giving fake 5 star reviews: At least TRY to make it somewhat believable. Say the kid shows potential and it's a good start and give him 3 stars. That's horribly distorted but it's better than the blatant disregard for all things holy giving him 5 stars along with a comment like "puts real sizzle in the "pop"". Perhaps that's the sizzle from the steaming pile of poo this song really is.
