About Me

Adam's love of music began at an early age with Elvis and the Beatles, and has remained with him ever since. Adam's musical training started at an early age, with piano lessons at 7 and guitar lessons at 10.
When Adam was 12 he started playing with computer music and primitive sequencing. (Jeskola tracker). He was introduced to electronic music through the East Coast rave scene in the late 90's. Adam soon picked up the turntables and starting playing his favorite records of the time. In the early 2000's Adam sketcher was seen DJing around the Washington DC metropolitan area. He has shared the bill with DJs such as Roy Davis JR., Q Burns Abstract Message, East Coast Boogiemen, Mark Grant, Rasoul, Spettro, and others.
He partnered up with DJ KRISHNA and formed DEEPITCH on summer 2001. They put out a record on Saeed's label Addictive Lowlit in 2001. The track was included on Saeed and Palash mix cd that followed a few months later.
apparently this track is still alive and kicking. It's being used as part of a workout playlist in one of NYC's best Yoga/Pilates studio. read about it here.
After a few years on the scene, Adam decided to withdraw and refocus his energies on acoustic music (mainly piano and guitar) and music theory.
However, the starting of a digital label by his friend Thomas Blondet changed things. Things have proved well, the tracks have been well received by DJs everywhere, and Adam is promising he'll have many more to come.
Adam is also a certified Recording Engineer from Omega Studios. He did engineering for the following labels Rhythm and Culture, Odds and Ends, 202 Digital.
Adam is currently attending Berklee School of Music in Boston ito further pursue his musical interests in electronic music and Jazz.
