About Ryan Adam
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
At a very young age, I knew music hit me differently. I remember listening to artists like Santana, Joss Stone, and Bon Jovi in the car with my mom as a kid. She put me in piano lessons around the fourth grade, and I was hooked from there.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 2014 Remaster
Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac (Deluxe)
Michael Jackson, Thriller
The musicality, artistry, lyrics, and vocals. These songs shaped me into the artist and writer I am today. My goal is to create music that stands the test of time, much like these albums that have had a lasting impact on the world and pop culture.

“I Want More”
I chose this song because it marked the beginning of everything for me in terms of my music career. It helped establish my sound and was such a journey bringing it to life. I always love playing this song at my shows.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
My release party for "Love Him For Good" was an amazing night of music and community with my peers, friends, and family. As an independent artist, organizing shows can be super stressful without a big team, but nights like that make it all worth it.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Absolutely! My goal with music has always been the same: write honest songs that resonate and stand the test of time. I aim to travel the world through my music, bringing people happiness, visibility, and, if I’m lucky, a smile and a few tears.
