Adam Wakeman

Adam Wakeman is a musician I admire for being indispensable without chasing the spotlight. As keyboardist and rhythm guitarist in Ozzy Osbourne's band, and the off-stage keys and guitar behind Black Sabbath, he's the kind of player who makes huge productions hold together. What really gets me is the breadth of his collaborators, from Annie Lennox and Deep Purple to Will Young and Victoria Beckham. Carrying the Wakeman name in rock means living with expectations, yet he built a working career as a versatile sideman across wildly different styles. That adaptability, more than any one credit, is what earns my respect.
