    When it comes to songwriting and production, Adam can do it all. He's an extraordinary songwriter who brings catchy, refreshing melodies and lyrics to the table, and he can play an array of instruments. Not to mention, Adam is extremely professional and always brings positive energy to work — whether it's a cowrite or a day in the studio. I started writing with Adam about five years ago, and he's produced a handful of my albums and singles. I'm excited to continue working with him and think he's a top-notch musician who has so much to offer anyone who's writing or recording.

    It's uncommon to cross paths with collaborators on par with Adam. He's a stunning musician, compelling songwriter, and brilliant record producer who I've worked with on an array of musical styles and feels. He seems totally comfortable behind guitars of every kind - fretted and non, and can more than hold his own on bass and keys. I've watched Adam steer the ship in large rooms of musicians with confidence and vision. His mastery of gear and on the spot musical decision-making is second to none. In projects of scope both large and small, I know Adam to be exceedingly kind and professional.
