A.D.A.M. stands for "Artists Developing Astonishing Music." Adam DeGraide founded A.D.A.M. with the belief that cooperation is one of the most effective methods of creating music. The project includes many amazing performers from diverse bands. The tracks are inspired by video game characters from both new and classic titles. The first three releases focus solely on characters from the hit Apex Legends. Using Adam's favourite video game characters as inspiration would open up a world of possibilities for the album's music, melody, and overall vibe. The intention was to create a pure ROCK record, and he saw the characters as the ideal subject matter.
As Adam DeGraide notes, "This is the ultimate fan art project." The album has almost 25 different contributors from all areas of life. The painters' ages range from 19 to 51. Variety is the spice of life, and the A.D.A.M. MUSIC PROJECT fulfills that promise. The project has also just recorded 12 new songs, which will be released throughout 2023 and include songs about Bowser, Princess Peach, Jill Valentine (Resident Evil), Cloud (Final Fantasy 7), Joel (Last of Us), and many more. The team is now working on another 12-song LP called World Takeover, scheduled to be published in the summer of 2024.
