Biography

Omer Adam was born in North Carolina, United States, to Israelis Sharon and Yaniv Adam.[2][3] His father is of Mountain Jewish (Kavkazi) descent, and his mother is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His father was a special forces officer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who served as deputy commander of the Shaldag Unit and Battalion 202 of the Paratroopers Brigade. Adam's paternal grandfather Shmuel served as a senior commander in the Israel Border Police. Adam is also related to Yekutiel Adam and Udi Adam, father and son generals in the IDF. When Adam was three years old, the family returned to Israel and settled at Mishmar HaShiv'a, a moshav.[4]

Adam grew up in Israel. During his mandatory national service in the IDF, he served in the Technology and Maintenance Corps.[5]

Adam wears a Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch.[6][7]

Singing career

Adam participated in season 7 of Kokhav Nolad (כוכב נולד), a popular Idol show in Israel until a blogger revealed that Adam was just 15 years and 7 months when he applied,[8][9] while the minimum age is 16. Adam withdrew from the competition mid-way through the season. Zvika Hadar, host of the show, responded by saying: "The important thing is that Omer realized his mistake, apologized and took the right decision. Our role is to provide equal admission to all contestants, we cannot compromise on this case."[10]

On June 15, 2011, Adam appeared in a live show attended by thousands in Caesarea Maritima, becoming the youngest artist to headline there.[9][11][12]

Adam performed at the Opening Ceremony of the 2017 Maccabiah Games on July 6, 2017.[13]

Adam had the biggest selling song in Israel in 2017–18 with "Two Crazy People" (שני משוגעים), surpassing Eurovision 2018 winner "Toy" by Netta Barzilai. Stav Beger was a key producer in both songs.[14]

In 2019, Adam, then considered Israel’s most popular recording artist, turned down an offer to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, as it would involve performing on Shabbat.[15]

In November 2020, Adam joined 39 other Israeli artists to record Katan Aleinu, a charity single benefitting hospitals battling the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]

In 2023, Adam moved to Dubai with his previous partner, Israeli model Yael Shelbia,[1] later returning to Israel.

In 2025, Adam performed in Madison Square Garden, New York City. The concert was sold out.[17]
