Michael Adams
Saxophonist - Michael is a sax player who has felt God's call to CCM and has refocused his life on discovering where God would place him in the profession. From his start in school and his dad's church to now, God has always and continues to bless his ability and playing. He felt the call to music as early as college but did not truly hear it and recognize God's promptings until recent years. Michael is an educated Electrical Engineer with a M.S.E.E. from Johns Hopkins University and equally excels in his career, although his job is now regarded as a way to provide for his family. Michael's God given ability, persistence, desire and love to play sax drives him in pursuing a career in contemporary Christian music.
