Alan Curtis Adams was born in Long Beach , California on Columbus Day. At the young age of 6 he began to display a love for performing by mimicking and doing impressions of his favorite musical icons. He would watch music videos and study their every move. That year during the Huntington Harbor 's Annual Boat Parade of lights, Curtis, shocking everyone, went out on the family dock and started performing for all the boats passing by. To everyone's surprise Curtis generated overwhelming cheers and a few harbor traffic jams. It was no secret this kid was born to perform.
