Adam Pavlovčin born 13 September 1995, known professionally as Adonxs (stylised in all caps), is a Slovak singer. The former lead singer of the London-based alternative band Pace, he released his debut solo studio album Age of Adonxs in 2022, earning him numerous accolades including Album of the Year, Best Male Artist or Best New Artist in Slovakia. He represented Czechia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Kiss Kiss Goodbye", but failed to qualify for the Grand Final. His native country, Slovakia, does not participate in the contest.
In 2021, Adonxs rose to prominence in his native country and Czechia after winning SuperStar, the seventh season of the joint Czech-Slovak version of Idols. Approached by producers to go on the show, an invitation he declined multiple times in the past, Adonxs stirred controversy with his performances in gender nonconforming outfits (including a translucent dress), to which he responded with "Clothes have no gender". He is the first openly queer winner of the joint singing competition and has described his victory as a "huge step forward" for the Czech and Slovak society. In an interview with ELLE, which pointed out his popularity as a queer artist in a conservative society, Adonxs reflected on the impact of his success: "I believe my victory has helped pave the way for other queer entertainers, actors, or politicians to come out and not be afraid to be their authentic, queer selves."
