Sammy Adams is a platinum selling rapper, singer, and songwriter. Adams started recording songs on his Macbook in 2008 from his college dorm 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, Curren$y, 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 a record label. After dropping out of school to chase his dream, Sammy sold out two full US 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 which 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 84 millions 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, NYC’s 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 NYC. In 2015 Sammy took a break from touring and focused on his writing and production skills, signing a pub deal with Sony Music Publishing. In 2017, Sammy embarked on the “Senioritis Tour” which hit over 42 colleges across the United States. Although his main 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 hip-hop acts. 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 now finally focused on his comeback story with the “Good Problems” EP produced by Steezefield from 808 Mafia paired alongside an 8-city tour this December through the northeast and midwest.
