Adan Jodorowsky (born October 1979) is an actor and musician.

Jodorowsky is the son of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Valerie Jodorowsky, and is the brother to Brontis Jodorowsky. He has appeared in 5 movies to date. As an actor, he won the Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor in 1989 for his role as the Young Fenix in Santa Sangre, one of his father movies.

Jodorowsky starter playing piano at the age of six. At seven, he meet James Brown (he was friend of his brother) at the backstage of a concert. Brown taught Adan how to dance like him. Jodorowsky's first guitar lessons where given by The Beatles guitarist George Harrison who was a friend of his parents, in this occasion Harrison told him that "he was far", Adan didn't knew if he was far in an enlightened way or far from being a good guitarist. When he was sixteen he joined the punk band The Hellboys, then he wanted to try another music genre and meet Yarol Poupad and Adrienne Pauly, because of these encounters he started playing bass.

In October 30 of 2006 he released his first solo album, Étoile Éternelle as Adanowsky, and his first single, "L'idole" (meaning "the idol") which was also released in Spanish as "El Idolo". This song is about a waiter who wants all the attention and dreams of becoming famous, an idol.

According to Adanonwsky's My Space, his influences include Elvis Presley, The Temptations, AC/DC, Frank Sinatra, The Strokes and many more. His variated influences led him to an eclectic and surrealist sound with lots of jazz and a rock-like sound.

He has also composed works such as Teou (2001) and Echek (2000), as well as directing Echek.
