John Adams

1954 fans

Welsh Singer/Songwriter: www.johnadamsmusic.co.uk

John Adams is a proud Welsh artist and dad of twin boys. A true romantic at heart, love finds its way into every song he writes. His instantly relatable lyrics have become the soundtrack for countless love stories and have also found a home with other artists — including a recent co-write on Calum Scott’s new album.

From busking on the streets to supporting Take That, John is no overnight success. With over a decade of experience behind the guitar, he boasts a No. 1 iTunes album, 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, 35 million YouTube views and credits on hit shows (Love Island, I’m a Celebrity… Get me Out Of here, The Voice), film soundtracks, and high-profile campaigns.

Following two sold-out UK tours, John is hitting the road again this March.
