How do you do? my name is adam, and im currently 23 years old. I was born in a moving truck with the company of a three legged horse who was having his lunch at the time. You see I grew up in a carnival travelling around the country, as a child i made friends with various people, there was John who's skin peeled when you threw iced tea over his body, my job at an early age was to pick up the skin off the floor and take it to the stall outside so they could sell it to passers by.It was my mother (bearded lady) who got me into music at a young age, and as soon as i was capable enough to play and sing a song all the way through i used to entertain the tired workers at the end of the night. The only song i knew of was "Lady in Red" but they loved it. But eventually the carnival closed down due to a lack of public demand. So myself and my family moved to Wrexham.I found it hard to fit in at school, firstly because of my appearance and that i was also bringing in my pet goat for the first couple of days which also drew unwanted attention. But school came and went and eventually there was nothing, complete nothingness. Loneliness hit me at the age 17, i was so lonely it would of despressed a lighthouse keeper. So i picked up my old acoustic and started playing, i would play the whole day through. I started playing when Oprah came on, had a break at Neighbours, and continued playing straight through to the evil stare of Anne Robinson (Weakest Link).I got pretty good at the guitar to until my strumming hand got trapped inside a braile printer, then after that my hand just looked like a big domino. So, i became lonely again, and then one day as i was walking through a back alley of wrexham, i spied a harmonica in someones bin. Well i brushed aside the dried up tomatoes and banana peel and i started to play that harmonica there and then, I blowed fast and i blowed slow. I did'nt know what the hell i was doing but it sounded pretty good, obviously not to the man who was trying to sleep and threw his shoe at me from his bedroom window.So i got a load of hamonicas, and other things that i've picked up from various places along the years, and i started writing songs and i recorded them, just for you to hear. So enjoy!
