About Me

Enjoy the songs, and if you do so, tell all your friends!
The latest: My first real single HAPPY HANGOVER just got released on iTunes and Nokia Music Store, with a little help from EMI...
you can find quite a few interesting homerecorded tracks and bootlegs on arthuradam.hyves.nl - there's a small blog in dutch on there as well
My latest album "In a cabin with" was recorded between 11 and 18 September 2007 in a wooden house in Sweden on invitation by the brilliant project "in a cabin with...". It got great reviews and made me 'artist of the week' on both MySpace Benelux and Hollands most influential indie website 3voor12. (This summer I'll be recording a new album....)

BIO-things...:
I am a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. As Arthur Adam I write, sing and play my own sensitive tunes. Small songs, suitable for on radios and in daydreams (since it is not really common for music to be meant to listen to anymore, I might as well state: my music is meant for (your) ears).
But I am not your average hopeless romantic, although I tend to lose hope and cling to romantic hippie ideals. I sing about love, doubt and often about the strangeness and awkwardness of everyday life...
Besides that: My rocky tunes are played by THE NEW. Ãœbermelodical energetic pop and rock songs. Over-the-top-pop!
And: I play guitar (and some keys) in the bands of fellow singer-songwriters Joep Pelt and Marike Jager
For a short overview of my music check these out, a few of my many faces/styles/songs:
Happy Hangover, (laidback, jazzy, live at the Frascati Theater in Amsterdam (recorded by K. de Kruijf)
Sirens, as played loudly by Arthur Adam & The New, Live at De Melkweg 2009
West Ferry Home (live at the actual ferry the song is about, especially for Dutch Webzine and underground network 3voor12) also with interview in Dutch
Things are Moving, Live (and solo) on 3voor12 national radio and webcast
