Adlan Cruz (born November 28, 1968) is a Puerto Rican pianist, composer and producer.
Cruz began playing the piano by ear at the age of three. He released his first album in 1989.
A graduate of the Hartt School in Connecticut, his studies were financed with a scholarship given to him by former Puerto Rico Governor, philanthropist and pianist Luis A. Ferré, whom he impressed early on with his talent.
He sponsors a private foundation to benefit the youth of Brazil.
As part of his worldwide concert schedule over the years, in December, 2000, Cruz performed live before 3.4 million people in Lagos, Nigeria.
In early 2009 he recorded his ninth CD in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
