MUSIC & DANCE

Adam Kruger started off DJing and hosting private events in Montreal at the age of 17 and has performed at over 3,000 live events across the US and Canada since.

After graduating with a degree in Marketing, Adam moved to Los Angeles to follow his passion for on-camera hosting and stand-up comedy. He hasn’t looked back since. He achieved quite a bit of success in his endeavours with highlights including hosting and producing over 150 segments across 50 episodes of This Is LA on CBS, performing standup comedy on numerous stages in LA, the US and Canada, and working in several commercials while also hosting live events across the US. With all of that, he could never really break away from DJing because music has always been in his blood. Adam has DJ’d for numerous A-list celebrities, and his events have varied from 4 people (no joke, and much harder than you’d think) to well over 5000 people. Adam has DJ’d multiple times at Diner En Blanc in LA, Pride in Montreal, numerous events at Warner Bros, and other studios, and had a successful and thriving entertainment company in LA until the pandemic changed things – his perspective included – and he made the move to Vancouver with his family. After moving his home base back to Canada in early 2021, Adam handled all aspects of production for Taste This! and a medical advisory series – both series of branded content videos for PlantX, currently airing on the company’s YouTube channel and across social media platforms. While Adam is often producing content, and consulting with companies, he loves rocking a party and is looking forward to creating memories with you and your crowd!
