Adam Pavlovcin, known professionally as Adonxs, is a Slovak-born singer-songwriter, model, dancer, and LGBTQ+ activist, based in the Czech Republic. He was inspired by his older sister to pursue singing and dancing from an early age. He later moved to Bratislava to attend C.S. Lewis Bilingual High School and took acting classes at the New Scene theater. At 16, he signed with a modeling agency.
Initially focusing on dance, Adonxs became a five-time Slovak champion in IDO street dance disciplines. He later rediscovered his passion for singing and moved to Prague for classical training under opera singer Hana Pecková. He then relocated to London for several years, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Songwriting and Creative Musicianship from the British and Irish Modern Music Institute, graduating with first-class honors.
In London, Adonxs co-founded the alternative band Pace, serving as the lead singer. The band released their debut EP, "Keeper," in early 2018, followed by singles "Hunt Me Down" in 2019 and "Fallen" in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned to Prague in 2021 to pursue a solo career. Adonxs gained prominence by winning the seventh season of SuperStar, a joint Czech and Slovak version of Idols, in 2021. He is the first openly queer winner of the competition and has been an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, using his platform to promote inclusivity and challenge traditional gender norms.
In 2022, Adonxs released his debut solo single "Moving On," followed by his album "Age of Adonxs," which earned him numerous accolades, including Album of the Year and Best Male Artist in Slovakia. His music blends baroque pop, avant-pop, and alternative pop, showcasing his deep vocal range and artistic versatility. In December 2024, it was announced that Adonxs would represent Czechia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, to be held in Basel, Switzerland. He expressed that participating in Eurovision has always been a big dream and feels a great responsibility to represent a country with a strong recent history in the competition, which became his home.
