When he was 12 years old, Adam gave up his Play Station for an M Audio keyboard. He plugged it into his Mac and he hasn’t come up for air since then. Originally drawn to hip hop, he spent a year working on hip hop beats. He was drawn to break dancing, poppin’ and locking and went to many dance classes with some of DC’s best dancers. He gained an appreciation for driving rhythms and movement and composing all the beat tracks on his keyboard, served as the foundation for his songwriting of the alternative rock songs that he has been working on over the last 7 years.
