Word of Adam Rapa's trumpet playing has spread like wild fire across the globe in recent years. He's become recognized internationally as a star on the rise, possessing both blazing technical skills and great emotional depth.

A featured guest artist and master-clinician at the 2008 International Trumpet Guild conference and the 2007 & 2008 National Trumpet Competition, Rapa's also established himself as a world-class educator who brings as much excitement and inspiration to the classroom as he does the stage.

Adam is grateful to have shared the stage and/or recorded with Grammy Award winners Nicholas Payton & Roy Hargrove, Christian McBride, Robert Glasper, Eric Reed, Wycliffe Gordon, Cyrus Chestnut, Doc Severinsen and many other great artists over the years.

Rapa’s also an avid composer and arranger, musical director, recording engineer and producer. In both Japan and the United States, his first solo album, “Life on the Road” has received critical acclaim for its vast musical diversity, virtuosity and soul.

Adam looks forward to a long career of producing innovative and inspiring musical and theatrical experiences, and contributing to the greater good through the medium of art.
