Adamo

Belgian singer (born November 1, 1943 in Comiso, Sicily, Italy).

His parents emigrated from Italy to Belgium. His father worked in the mines of Marcinelle. He was able to avoid going to work in the mines thanks to his dedication at school and distinguishing himself in music and the arts.

He mainly performs in French but has also sung in Italian, Dutch, English, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Turkish. He is currently the best selling Belgian musician of all time.

Since 2001 Adamo holds the Belgian noble title of Ridder, similar to the English title of “Knight”.

He owned the former Fonior studio (now named Jet Studio) from 1981 to 1986.
