Originally handpicked by Maurice White (founder of Earth, Wind & Fire), Hawley has curated a career defined by an incredible 19 Billboard #1 hits as an artist and producer. His recent accolades cement his status as a genre titan, including being named the 2025 Billboard Artist of the Year, the 2024 Mediabase Artist of the Year, and twice earning the Billboard Song of the Year (2020 and 2022).

 

Beyond his chart-topping solo career, Adam has toured with a “who’s who” of music legends, including Jennifer Lopez, Natalie Cole, Lalah Hathaway, The Manhattan Transfer, and Brian McKnight, and has appeared as a featured member of the American Idol house band.
