Born in the Bronx, but raised in Syosset on New York's Long Island, Adam Pascal always wanted to be a musician. He first fulfilled that goal by playing in bands with his schoolmates that emulated his rock heroes -- <a href="spotify:artist:0k17h0D3J5VfsdmQ1iZtE9">Pink Floyd</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2OgUPVlWYgGBGMefZgGvCO">Queensryche</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6mdiAmATAx73kdxrNrnlao">Iron Maiden</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2tRsMl4eGxwoNabM08Dm4I">Judas Priest</a>. However his first break came from a completely different musical genre -- theater. On a whim he auditioned for the musical Rent and got the starring roll as Roger, eventually earning him a Theater World Award and Obie Award, as well as a number of award nominations. He also earned a good amount of fame in the theater community. Such fame proved to be a bit of a liability when he tried to return to performing rock music and was pigeonholed as a broadway singer. Soon, however, he was cast in another musical, Aida, and found recording success around the same time with Sh-K-Boom Records. Sh-K-Boom was an internet-based label that specialized in releasing the pop-oriented albums of broadway performers and proved to be the ideal vehicle to release <a href="spotify:artist:3sePukVcI0fXMA6l3Cuo0J">Pascal</a>'s debut album, Model Prisoner. That release, which was issued in 2000, focuses on the hard rock sound that was <a href="spotify:artist:3sePukVcI0fXMA6l3Cuo0J">Pascal</a>'s true love, but also showcases a strong voice that makes it not too hard to see how he achieved success as a singer. ~ Stacia Proefrock, Rovi
