Musician

Adams love for music started with playing the guitar in 1993 and then developed an interest in playing keyboards. Ever since he has composed a number of songs and instrumentals, which he records in his studio. He is proud to be a member of The British Academy of Song-writers, Composers & Authors (BASCA), The Musician's Union (MU) and the Performing Rights Society (PRS). Having been in a few small-time heavy metal/rock bands as a long haired scruffy oik of a lead guitarist, Adam always wanted more out of music, and therefore went on to work on his own material. From his home and studio, Adam dedicates his time to both composing and recording his musical compositions. Although having the ability to play a number of instruments, his main passion rests with the guitar, through which he often expresses his deepest love for music.
