Born in Trinidad & Tobago, raised in Caracas/Venezuela & Brooklyn/NYC, and educated in Washington/DC, Adam Cooper bka Foreigner is a multi-disciplinary creative best known as a strategy director, DJ, designer and event producer. Adam is currently based in Los Angeles/California/USA.

Adam takes his audience beyond the unknown and into a place of communal celebration, where nuance brings people closer to their shared humanity. That place is found within the immersive, cinematic, Caribbean-inflected dance parties he produces in LA, in his Afrodiasporic DJ sets at clubs and festivals around the world, in his short films and even in his vibrant, savvy and strategic graphic design. 

No matter the medium, Foreigner is a storyteller at heart. His creative intent--to link the fractured legacies of the African diaspora, to shrink the distance between nations, histories and people--extends from his own life experience growing up all over the western hemisphere. Even as he amasses a dedicated following around the world and online, Foreigner remains the eternal outsider, always arriving someplace new, always tying together the cultures and rhythms that move him.
