Jamming out in the house runs in Adam Sandler’s family.
While accepting the Founders Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for his contributions to music and songwriting at the 2026 ASCAP Experience in Los Angeles on Feb. 12, the 59-year-old actor and musician discussed how his daughters have become musicians just like their famous father.
“They both jam in the house all day long like I used to,” he said of Sadie, 19, and Sunny, 17, whom he shares with his wife, Jackie Sandler, 51.

“I walked by last night, my one kid’s playing the piano, writing a song,” Adam continued in his speech. “My other kid’s in New York now. Every time I visit her, all her friends are like, ‘All she does is play guitar all day long.’ ”
Sadie attends New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
“It's really cool. Music’s the best. It’s always been there for me,” added the comedian, who released five studio albums from 1993 to 2004.

Paul Williams, ASCAP’s president, highlighted Adam’s contributions to “the comedy music canon” in a news release about the Founders Award.
“Adam is a giant of comedy, and so many of his most hilarious on-screen moments are based in music and song,” Williams said.
“From Opera Man [on SNL] to ‘The Chanukah Song’ to ‘Grow Old with You,’ Adam’s genius ability to seamlessly blend comedy and music helps us all appreciate the wonders and absurdities of life and love,” he added.
