Adam is a Scottish singer songwriter who has been gigging his original songs since 2003 and recorded 4 studio albums. He has toured extensively in the UK as well as France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Cyprus and Ukraine. He has also supported the likes of Bert Jansch and Jolie Holland.

Adam was born in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, and was raised in the town and on the farm of his Orcadian grandparents nearby. Adam's first instrument was the violin, as was his sister Sarah's. Adam moved on to the guitar and they both learnt traditional Scottish music and continue to play it together today.

'A song of One Hundred Years' is one of Adam's most popular songs. About his grandfather who lived to be 100 years old. The melody evokes an old scottish tune called 'Margaret's Waltz', which was his grandfather's favourite tune.

'There's No View Like Bennachie' is a song about travelling back to Inverurie over the years and how his feelings towards home have changed.

And in 'Welcome Home' Adam wrote lyrics to a compositions of accordionist Mairearad Green. Another song about going back to Inverurie:

The Family Tree is a song that Adam wrote, this time to mark his grandmother's passing.

Adam has had extensive radio play on BBC Radio Scotland with great support from well known presenters:
