Los Angeles College of Music (LACM) announces that renowned guitarist, writer and educator Adam Levy has joined the faculty as Guitar Department Chair beginning January 2015.

“Adam has mastered the guitar and its versatility,” said Tom Aylesbury, President, LACM. “He brings years of experience performing as a session player and touring band member for top performers like Norah Jones, Tracy Chapman, Amos Lee, Sex Mob, Ani DiFranco and many others. His books and tapes and videos are considered the best in the business and his teaching has been the gateway to a musical career for many artists. We are thrilled to welcome him as Department Chair and place full confidence in his vision for educating the next generation of guitar players prepared to lead the modern music industry.”

Levy has created a remarkable body of music over the past 30 years, and his talents continue to evolve today. He was recruited for Norah Jones’ recording of “Come Away with Me,” her multi-platinum, multi-Grammy debut on Blue Note Records. He remained in Jones’ orbit for several years to come, recording two additional albums and three DVDs, and touring the world as a member of her Handsome Band. He also played on Tracy Chapman’s mid-90s masterpiece New Beginning. Levy’s guitar earns the limelight in the bluesy “Give Me One Reason,” which won Best Rock Song at the 1997 Grammy Awards.

“The music industry today is more competitive than ever and in order to get the gig, independent guitarists need to be sharp players, but also have a unique character that sets them apart.” said Levy. “LACM’s new and expanded programs provide their students with a competitive edge, and I am proud to be a part of LACM’s respected faculty.”
