Adam Lambert

Biography

ADAM LAMBERThe/him (Emcee) is a GRAMMY®-nominated singer/songwriter, actor, producer, philanthropist, and LGBTQ+ trailblazer. The first openly gay male artist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Lambert has released five studio albums to date, selling more than three million albums worldwide. After blowing everyone away on the eighth season of “American Idol,” Lambert went on to become GRAMMY-nominated for his platinum-certified single “Whataya Want From Me” and has amassed an impressive catalog featuring five Top 10s on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart. Most recently, Lambert released his most liberated body of work to date with the hedonistic dance EP AFTERS.

In addition to a successful solo career, Lambert is no stranger to impressing crowds with his carefully curated transformation of other artists’ songs – from selling out stadiums worldwide as the frontman of the iconic band Queen, to the Kennedy Center Honors where he reduced Cher to tears with his delicate ballad rendition of “Believe.”

Alongside his impressive achievements in music, Lambert has showcased his acting chops in the hit TV series “Glee,” where he portrayed the character Elliot “Starchild” Gilbert. His voiceover work includes notable projects like Megamind Rules, “Fraggle Rock,” and The Playmobil Movie. He hosts and co-produced the ITV documentary Adam Lambert: Out, Loud and Proud, appeared in the five-time Academy Award-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody, and starred in the Sofia Coppola-produced feature film Fairyland, which world premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. On stage, Lambert’s theatrical experience includes the first National Tour and Los Angeles Company of Wicked (Ensemble, Fiyero U/S), and now the coveted role of Emcee in the Broadway production of Cabaret, marking his official Broadway debut.
