He is widely recognized as the progenitor of "Stretch Music," a 21st-century approach that asserts genre blindness and an ethnomusicological approach to limitless fusion. Adjuah has collaborated with Prince, Mos Def (Yasin Bey), Thom Yorke, McCoy Tyner, Marcus Miller, Flea, Eddie Palmieri, Robert Glasper, as well as heralded poet Saul Williams. His innovations have garnered him a PBS American Masters episode, JAZZFM's Innovator of the Year Award, Jazz Journalist Association Trumpeter of the Year, The Herb Alpert Award in the Arts, The Changing Worlds Peace Maker Award, a host of other accolades and honors. Adjuah is an inaugural member of the Black Genius Brain Trust, an honor he shares with his writer/director identical twin brother, Kiel Adrian Scott. Adjuah has played himself in the hit films Bill and Ted Face the Music and Issa Rae's, The Photograph, and became the face of the first-ever BMW XM vehicle.
