Every musician remembers when it all began for them. It’s like a revelation, they say, that first time you hear something. Artistic inspiration, like a
crazy spark that burns and burns. It’s also the sound that lives in Vancouver
born producer Adam Pearce’s music. He’d call it “melodic bass,” but his blending of progressive house, trance, and chillstep transcends genre. This is the sound of sun kissed crowds moving together. This is music to get lost in. Adam began producing seriously back in 2011 after discovering artists like Porter Robinson, Skrillex, and Deadmau5. So he got to work, Learning how to tell a story with music.
Pearce then earned his live debut by winning a local DJ contest. Doors started to open, and his dedication didn’t go unnoticed. He was offered the opening spot for bass heavyweights Zeds Dead at Vancouver’s iconic Vogue Theatre. Labels such as Dim Mak, Lowly Palace and DeadBeats release his music. Other DJs play it, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Alison Wonderland, Arty. Along the way, Pearce opens for The Chainsmokers, What So Not, Feed Me, Ghastly, k?d, and many others.
His music resonates, but Pearce isn’t content unless he’s challenging himself. “I just want to make the music I'd want to hear” he says. If a crowd wants to feel something real, then inspiration will never be too far away.
