NYC-based Adam Ahuja is a live-looping artist, keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist, and label founder/consultant.  Ahuja’s music melds jazz, rock, funk, soul and electronic music into a fluid style, having drawn international recognition touring independently as an artist and as a past member of acts such as Robert Randolph & Family Band and the Ana Popovic Band.  In 2017, Ahuja released “Ubiquity,” on which he composed and performed all music, including keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, and voice, and wrote the lyrics.  The album was released on the Infinity Gritty label, started by Ahuja.  When Adam plays live, he offers what he calls a #neolivelooping experience: one in which he performs and loop-records various instruments on stage, including keyboards, key-bass, drumpads and vocals, often inviting interactive participation from audience members. Ahuja’s adept performances, charisma, and novel approach to the “one man band” paradigm have made him a widely viewed media presence, landing features in outlets such as Relix, Apple Music, Goldmine Magazine, and university workshops at NYU and Musicians Institute.  

NYC-based Adam Ahuja is an x-genre live-looping artist, keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist, and entrepreneur.  He has drawn international recognition touring independently as an artist and as a past member of acts such as Robert Randolph & Family Band and the Ana Popovic Band.

Ahuja’s keen sense of the contemporary music scene prompted him to establish Infinity Gritty, a global music label and consultancy.  The label focuses on pushing the creative limits of artistic expression at the intersection of jazz and beyond, and has landed features in Spotify’s State of Jazz playlist, Atwood Magazine, Mathematical Association of America, and others.

Ahuja’s influences range from from jazz, rock, world, funk, hip-hop, electronic, and some Vanilla Ice dance partying at age six, amalgamating a sound that melds a love for the groove, an affinity for harmonic exploration, and an expression of metaphysically-bent lyricism.  In 2017, Ahuja released the critically-acclaimed album “Ubiquity” via Infinity Gritty and joint-launched with Ropeadope Records, on which he composed and performed all music, including keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, voice, and wrote the lyrics.   

When Ahuja plays live, he offers what he calls a #neolivelooping experience: drawing upon a range of electronic and organic instruments to record and loop performances live, without the use of pre-recorded sampled parts.  Ahuja’s shows often involve interactive participation recording the audience members themselves, bringing them on to the stage and giving a personal connection to the performance.  

Ahuja’s adept performances and novel approach to the “one man band” paradigm has led to artist features in Relix Magazine, Apple Music, Goldmine Magazine, amongst others, and has led to hosting creativity and entrepreneurship-driven workshops at NYU Clive Davis Institute, Musicians Institute, University of the Arts, and US State Department-sponsored events.  

Along his career path, a few of Ahuja’s collaborative highlights include writing and recording in-studio guitar parts for rock-legends Meatloaf featuring Brian May of Queen, jamming on stage with musicians such as Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads, Questlove of The Roots, and Kenny Wayne Shepard, opening for legendary jazz pianist Chick Corea, landing endorsement deals with Nord Keyboards (‘Artist of the Month’) and Motion Sound Amps, and co-founding and co-creating with NYC multi-genre project “The Flowdown.”

Adam Ahuja has headlined or performed at a wide range of US and international festivals and venues, include Blue Note Jazz Festival (USA), Musikfest (USA), Victoria Jazz Festival (Canada), Tout por Tous Festival (France), Club Milla Night (Germany), Gypsy Jazz-Fest (New Caledonia), Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise (Caribbean), Great Mississippi Balloon Race (USA), Unifier Festival (USA), DiscJam Festival (USA), and Sofar Sounds (USA, Germany, Brazil).

As a consultant with a background in both creativity and strategy, Ahuja has advised organizations and individuals through an approach drawing from systems thinking, multiple-perspective comparison, sustainability, ideation, and creative inspiration.  Adam holds a Master’s in Public Policy (MBA) from University of Konstanz in Germany and BSBA in Management and Pre-Med from Bucknell University, and enjoys a good philosophical conversation every now and then.
