Adam O'Rua

At the intersection of Ireland's musical renaissance and global pop stands Adam O’Rua as an unexpected cultural vanguard. This multi-hyphenate creative doesn't just make R&B – he's building a movement where music, dance, and visual art collide with authentic cultural exchange.
“Fiercely driving a multi-disciplinary artistic career, Adam O’Rua is certainly one of Ireland’s most interesting newcomers. His global approach to creation – flowing from a true need for personal expression – really draws us into [EVA], and we are confident it will do so for a larger audience too.” - Gabriel Mazza, YMX
When O'Rua hits the stage with his four-piece band, the experience transcends the typical show format. One minute they're locked in a smooth R&B pocket, the next they're crafting entirely new songs from audience suggestions – creating unrepeatable moments that blur the line between performer and crowd. His dance breaks don't feel like choreographed interludes but natural extensions of the music's energy.
Off the back of a European mini-tour in 2024 and his breakthrough Rio de Janeiro headline performance, O'Rua continues to bridge cultural boundaries while staying true to his roots. For those tracking artists breaking boundaries, Adam O'Rua is essential listening.
