Adam Lopez Costa, born on August 26, 1975, billed as Adam Lopez, is an Australian pop musician, vocal coach, and session vocalist. He is noted for his ability to produce extremely high notes in his whistle register and for his extensive vocal range. He is currently a Guinness World Record holder for singing the highest note (by a male) and a half step below the E in the 8th octave (E♭8), or a tone and a semitone above the highest note on a standard 88-key piano. He currently heads the vocal faculty at Sheldon College's Australian School of the Arts.
Lopez was the second of three sons born to Spanish parents, Manuel Jesús López Pérez and María Del Rosario Costa Velasco. Both of his parents were musicians. Having started singing at the age of three, Lopez was a treble (boy soprano) by age ten. After finishing high school, Lopez studied voice at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music at Griffith University in Australia. He spent five years there studying opera although he spent a total of 10 years developing his distinctive vocal abilities.
In addition to solo work, Lopez has worked as a session vocalist, singing backing vocals for Mariah Carey, Debelah Morgan, Keith Urban, Vanessa Amorosi, and other Australian artists. He has also worked in television and radio.
His 2008 Latino album titled Till The End of Time features Australian jazz musician James Morrison on trumpet.
