Adam has to be the least assuming musical talent we know and perhaps have ever met. His humility is profound and his musical gifts have served many well known artists, enriching and fortifying their greatest songs. He is a uniquely attuned and brilliant guitar player and his own sublime body of work, the album ‘Let It Go’, has so far largely gone unnoticed by the mainstream. It’s the kind of music, like the man himself, that will soothe your system and we've no hesitation in saying that his songs are certainly classics, as yet uncovered.
Adam was generous enough to share, candidly, just how music has been a steady support for him personally, throughout his life and today. A very private man, he rarely gives interviews, so we were thrilled that he took the time to join us on this episode of the podcast.
Adam shares his early musical influences, the role music played for him during his emotional struggles and how songwriting is an outlet. The conversation also delves into the shared experiences of listeners and artists alike, emphasising the importance of music to promote emotional healing. He reflects on the specific songs that affect him deeply and was wide open to share important moments and experiences of music, evoking feelings of connection and understanding and how that helps, when life gets really hard.
