Adam Parker is a singer/songwriter who has kept up with the times, he does not reject modern sounds as many of his contemporaries tend to, allowing his sound to be different and more interesting to a critical ear while keeping it accessible to the casual listener who will enjoy his melodies.
His debut album, “Call Me a Medic”, produced by Grammy-Nominated Dyre Gormsen combines traditional folk-pop structures that intertwine Adam’s smooth voice with urban beats, derived sometimes form hip-hop and sometimes in the form of mild electronica.
Adam first hit the airwaves in 2008 thanks to a collaboration with famed house DJ Sasha who grew fond of and remixed his song “High Life” which became a hit in the dance charts in the US. Adam has since started to build a name for himself in the US thanks to Jason Eldregde who is championing two songs from the debut album, “K3″ and “Oh My” on both East Village Radio in New York and KCRW in Los Angeles.
“Smart Man”, Adam’s first proper single is a song about having enough with a current situation and veering out of it by becoming a smart man. The video for the song came out at the time of the British Elections in May, and shows Adam and a small creature trying to wake the British population to vote for a smart man.
The future looks bright for Adam, being featured in The Times as the weekend’s top download songs for smart man and with the upcoming release of follow up single, “Oh My”,to be released in early August.
