This beautiful, Christian man was born July 5, 1986 and began creating music in his parents' basement in Owatonna, Minnesota since he could remember. He suffers from insomnia, but he uses that as a strength for his music.
Just like any other sane aspired musician tries to become famous, he was first spotted upon myspace. Launcing his first album Of June which peaked at #16 on the charts, who then signed a contract with Universal Republic.
Following Of June came Maybe I'm Dreaming, Ocean Eyes and All Things Bright and Beautiful. He is involved in a few side projects as well, including Sky Sailing, Port Blue as well as a photography.
With inspiration from his fans, fellow singer and song writers, his travels and of course God, he sings and writes his heart out to every beat.

Interviewer:
Your new song “Lonely Lullaby” refers to your ex-girlfriend Ann Marie many times. Did you consider changing her name in the song?
Adam:
Ann Marie was, and certainly still is, such a beautiful person to me, and I’d never written such a personal song before. I knew I had to include her name in the lyrics because the song is truly what I wish I could say to her now that’s she’s gone. A lot of my songs are written purely from the imagination and some have no representation of my personal life, but “Lonely Lullaby” was the first song I wrote almost ENTIRELY about something as personal as a romantic relationship. Ann had blue eyes, her favorite flowers were pink star-lilies, and I used to literally sing her to sleep over the phone while she was home and I was on tour. The song is, in fact, so personal, it almost hurts to listen to it now that such a perfect relationship has come to an end. I wasn’t sure if I had something as “genuine and pure” inside of me but the song basically wrote itself and I’m proud of it.
