Adam Jovanović Kaasa / Bliss Carmxn is a Canadian-born London-based artist, composer, performer, curator, and interdisciplinary scholar working across song, sound, performance, archives, outer space, and public culture. Their practice connects original music, artistic research, and large-scale curatorial projects, bringing together queer poetics, speculative thinking, and a deep commitment to voice as a medium of memory, relation, and transformation.

Working musically as Bliss Carmxn, Adam makes genre-blurring alt-pop shaped by electronic shimmer, piano-led composition, folk intimacy, and an experimental performance sensibility. Their debut EP, Hold My Hand And I’ll Hold Yours (2024), established Bliss Carmxn as a distinctive new voice, following earlier singles supported by BBC London and Berlin’s Wicked Hag label. Their second EP, Open Love, is released in June 2026 and features the singles 'Caffeine Orange' and 'Never Wanted.'

Adam’s musical practice extends across theatre and dance. Their work was performed in Stefan Jovanović Kaasa’s Constellations at Sadler’s Wells in 2019, and they later collaborated with Jovanović Kaasa on the dance-theatre work When the Clarion Came to Call, creating an original sound score and a nine-song original album for the production, which premiered at the Cockpit Theatre in London in October 2025.

At the centre of Adam’s current work is Andromeda, an expansive artistic-research project unfolding as both a monograph and an eight-part song cycle. Bringing together astronomy, myth, archival research, speculative fiction, and collective singing, Andromeda explores how voice can create forms of belonging across time, distance, and loss. Performances connected to this work have taken place at Matt’s Gallery in London, Swedenborg Hall, and the Performing Arts Forum in France.

Alongside their artistic practice, Adam is co-lead of the MFA Arts & Humanities at the Royal College of Art, co-founder of the RCA’s outer space research network _SPACE, a founding member of SOUND@RCA, and co-founder of Theatrum Mundi, the international research centre on arts and urban culture. Their work has been developed and presented through collaborations and institutions including the Venice Architecture Biennale, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Britain, the Southbank Centre, Harvard GSD, MIT, Columbia, NYU, and the Museu do Amanhã. In 2021, they curated RELAY at the Venice Architecture Biennale, a 24-hour durational performance spanning global time zones with more than 60 participants.

In 2026, Adam is curating The Art of Song at the Royal College of Art and developing Future of Voice with IKLECTIK, the London Festival of Architecture, and the Biennale Dello Stretto, a major new project exploring voice, listening, technology, and democracy in an age of AI.
