Early Days |
Adam fell in love with music when he first joined his school’s concert band program playing trombone in 2008. A year later, he joined choir and also became part of his first theater program. As he continued through school, he joined many other ensembles including orchestra winds, pit orchestra, jazz band, marching band, pep band, vocal jazz, and more. Upon graduating high school in 2015, he chose to pursue a career in music and has been living the dream ever since!

Adam Huckeby Music |
Adam Huckeby Music was founded in 2015 as Adam began offering Music Direction and Private Instruction services to local theater companies and schools. He also enjoyed opportunities both conducting and performing as part of pit orchestras for a variety of local productions. Over time, he began doing more technical theater work that included Sound Design, Live Audio Engineering, and Media Programming. In the same timeframe, he began developing his own home studio where he honed his skills in Songwriting and Music Production, working on both personal and professional projects. Today, Adam focuses most of his freelance energy into sound and media for musical theater productions, where he particularly enjoys striking a balance between both the creative and technical elements of the craft.

Hosanna! Lutheran Church |
Adam’s first formal employment began in August of 2015 as the Choir Director at Hosanna! Lutheran Church. He continued in this position for several years while also taking on additional roles as a Worship Leader and Media Team Volunteer. After a brief stint as the “Sound Coordinator”—during which time Adam was placed in charge of renovating and improving the church’s sound system—he eventually took on the position of Director of Technology & Media Ministries in January of 2021. He continues in this position today and still regularly enjoys the opportunity to lead music for worship as well.

Piano Trends Music Company |
Adam joined the team at Piano Trends Music Company in January of 2018 where he functioned as a Staff Member and Private Instructor for piano and low brass instruments. Shortly after, Adam took on the task of renovating and improving the company’s technical systems for customer retail services and internal information management. This process not only included much I.T. infrastructure development, but also required overhauling the store’s website for both the purposes of a more streamlined redesign as well as better continuity and integration with the new infrastructure as a whole. Adam continues teaching privately and managing the technical systems for the store today.

concept_mix_music |
In 2018, Adam met Aldren Briones and the two hit it off immediately. A shared love of music paired with Aldren’s incredible creativity and Adam’s technical prowess led to the inception of concept_mix_music. At first, this shared vision served as a creative outlet for the duo that was more of a casual hobby than a proper business. It soon became clear, however, that there was great potential for something more. In January of 2021, the concept_mix band was founded with Aldren on keys and lead vocals, Adam on bass and lead vocals, Elijah Groth on drums and percussion, and Josh Gonzales on guitar and backing vocals. Although Josh moved away to pursue a job opportunity not long afterward, the remaining trio continued making music together and began working on their debut record “Metacognition” in 2022 with the album releasing on July 6, 2024. The band continues to perform regularly and, as of the time of this writing, is currently composing material for their upcoming sophomore album. In addition to the band itself, concept_mix_music as a music production studio also continues to work with a variety of local musicians to produce and publish the work of up-and-coming independent artists.
