Adam Skeppar is a guitarist from Sweden based in Los Angeles. He was born in a town south of Stockholm, Sodertalje, and he found his first love of music at 11 when he saw his dad pick up and play the guitar. From then on, he started listening to bands like Europe, KISS and Iron Maiden, and eventually started jamming with friends in middle school.

He graduated from Musicians Institute’s Guitar Program in March 2018 with an Associates Degree, along with accolades such as the “Outstanding Player of 2018” Award, the Musicians Scholarship, and the International Musicians Scholarship. After graduation, he immediately began playing with America’s Got Talent Winner Bianca Ryan, whom he continues to perform with in numerous different scenarios including TV appearances, radio, etc.

He’s done special guest appearances for Steve Vai, Normans Rare Guitars, and Musicians Institute. Currently, Adam is touring with the artist, The Reasn, and The Modern ABBA Experience ABBARAMA as one of the four main members, alongside MI alumni Diana Ebe and Lucas Bomeny.
