SAMMY ADAMS is a platinum selling rapper, singer, and songwriter. Adams started
recording songs on his Macbook in 2008 from his college dormitory room. Over the
course of the next two years, he recorded a large amount of material that would be used
on his later releases. He was always told it was a “pipe dream” and practically
impossible in this day and age without signing a major deal. In early 2009, he emerged
into the music industry with his release of “I Hate College (Remix)”, a remix of Asher
Roth’s “I Love College”, on YouTube which went viral. He was asked across the country
to open for Drake, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Mike Posner,
Currensy, and Tiesto (to name a few). He released his first ever EP, Boston’s Boy, on
March 4, 2010, which debuted at number one on the iTunes hip-hop chart within hours
of dropping. His song “Driving Me Crazy” which sampled Annie Lennox’s hit “Walking
on Broken Glass” hit #8 on iTunes hip-hop singles chart. The EP managed to reach #73
on The Billboard 200 without marketing, a label, or any push.
In the end of June 2010, Adams travelled to London, UK to finish his first mixtape, Party
Records. It was the first of its kind, a musical mash up of his favorite electronic sampled
beats from producers like Deadmau5 (“Some Chordz”) and Yolanda Be Cool (“No
Speak Americano”), as well as many others.
After dropping out of school to chase his dream, he sold out two full tours after declining
record deal’s from virtually every major label in the United States. On August 8th, 2011,
Adams performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago, and it solidified his place in the music
industry. Shortly after that Adams signed a substantial record deal with Sony RCA in
New York City, began dropping singles with Mike Posner, Enrique Iglesias, and made
his TV debut on Conan with Conan O’Brien.
As if life couldn’t get any more surreal, Adams penned a song entitled “All Night Longer”
in 2012 which took his touring to the next level. The Gary Glitter sampled song (which
currently has amassed 82 million streams on Spotify alone) quickly became his most
successful song of all time. As soon as the song started at the venues he was playing,
chaos ensued (in a good way). On November 12th, 2012, Adam’s ended his tour at
Roseland, NYCs coveted 5,600-person venue, and shortly after made the move to Los
Angeles. Being the east coast boy that he is after 2 years moved back east and settled
back in Manhattan, NY. In 2015 Sammy took a break from touring and focused on his
writing and production skills. In 2017, Sammy embarked on the “Senioritis Tour” which
hit over 42 colleges across the United States. Although his focus was to get back in the
studio and pump out another album Adam’s got an offer he couldn’t refuse and jumped
on “The Vans Warped Tour” for the 49-date music festival as one of the only rappers. In
2018 Adam’s survived a life-threatening accident which left him with a broken neck and
two brain hemorrhages, putting his music career on hold. Miraculously he rehabbed with
full range of motion beating the 1 in 100 odds that he’d ever walk again. He is currently
wrapping up new music and is back in the studio writing for other artists as well.
