Crash Adams brought ALL the good vibes to their hit 2025 America’s Got Talent audition! The Canadian pop duo is known for their viral TikTok videos, and with their hype stage presence, they look ready to break out to the big time. In addition to their infectious energy, the duo’s secret weapon is their songwriting, as they impressed on their audition with the fittingly titled bop “Optimist.” Crash Adams quickly hyped up the audience when they hit the stage, and then delivered with their performance.
Honey-voiced frontman Rafaele Massarelli had the crowd on their feet, clapping along and just eating out of the palm of his hand. Guitarist Vince Sasso also added a lot to the show, working off Massarelli’s energy and hopping around the stage like Angus Young. The six-stringer also ripped a mean solo to close out the song, which the audience absolutely loved. The Music Man loves to see original guitar music showcased on America’s Got Talent, and these boys have sure got what it takes for the big stage!

I’ve watched them online and love every song they sing! WIN this thing guys” and “Their music just makes you feel good, the world can use more of that right now. Go win this thing, Crash Adams!”
Crash Adams have found success online through their original music as well as more quirky content. One of the boys’ most popular videos on YouTube showcases their comedy chops during their street performances.

I was like dancing to it. Your voice is great. And I love the relationships you have. I feel like you guys need a little bit more cool outfits though.”
