Adam Granofsky (born February 15, 1979),[1] better known under his stage name Adam Granduciel, is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter and record producer. He is the frontman and primary songwriter of the indie rock band the War on Drugs,[2] with whom he has recorded five studio albums, and a former member of Kurt Vile's backing band the Violators.

In addition to his work with The War on Drugs and Kurt Vile & the Violators, Granduciel has made guest appearances on albums by The Killers, Beyoncé and Sharon Van Etten.

Early life[edit]

Adam Granduciel was born in Dover, Massachusetts. His father Mark Granofsky is a first-generation American who was born to Russian-Jewish immigrants.[3]

He attended the Roxbury Latin School of West Roxbury. A French-language pun by a teacher there (Ken Conn) inspired his stage name; "du ciel" means "of the sky" in French.[4] He is a graduate of Dickinson College, where he studied painting and photography.[5]

Personal life[edit]

Granduciel began a relationship with actress Krysten Ritter in August 2014.[6] In February 2019, Ritter revealed that she and Granduciel were expecting their first child.[7] Their son, Bruce Julian Knight Granofsky, was born on July 29, 2019.[8]

Granduciel is an avid golfer.[9]
