Adam "Messy" Messinger (born 13 May 1976) is a Canadian songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist currently based in Los Angeles.

Born in Toronto, Messinger started playing the piano at age five, and proceeded to develop skills for almost every instrument that crossed his path, including sax, bass, guitar, and drums/percussion. After being enrolled in the Claude Watson School for the Arts program from grade 4 through to 13, he attended the music program at York University in Toronto, where he was awarded the Oscar Peterson Scholarship for Jazz studies two years consecutively. He received Juno Award nominations in 2001 and 2006 for his work with a cappella group Cadence. He also co-wrote the winning RnB song in the 2002 John Lennon Songwriting Competition.

In recent years, his partnership with fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Nasri has functioned as a successful writing & production team for a wide range of artists, including Michael Bolton, JoJo, Vanessa Hudgens, No Angels, Marina Chello, and the New Kids On The Block.

He has also done work with Grammy award winning songwriters, such as Dianne Warren, Babyface, Dan Hill, Jorgen Elofsson, and Andreas Carlsson.
