Crash Adams is a Canadian pop music duo from Toronto, Ontario, most noted as Juno Award nominees for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2024. ^[1]

Music career

The duo, consisting of Rafaele "Crash" Massarelli and Vince "Adams" Sasso, began making music together in the 2020s, but struggled to get attention until hitting on a social media strategy that involved transporting Massarelli's grandmother's red couch to unexpected locations to create short TikTok videos. ^[2] With a quickly expanding fanbase, they released a number of singles over the next few years until signing to Warner Music Canada, which released the four-song EP California Girl in early 2023. ^[3]

In 2023, they also participated in the Artists for Feel Out Loud supergroup cover of Serena Ryder's "What I Wouldn't Do". ^[4]

In 2025, the duo auditioned on America's Got Talent . They performed their original song "Optimist" and received 4 yeses, putting them through to the next round. Simon Cowell commented, "I liked it a lot, and the great thing, like Howie said is, if the song really is good, it's gonna react within minutes of this audition going out, which is brilliant." ^[5]
