We recently connected with Jack Adamant and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Jack thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

I’ve always taken music seriously, even from the first time I picked up a guitar and started writing lyrics. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it, music has always been a passion of mine but from the beginning, I felt that what I was doing was incredibly important and deserved my best effort. Back then, sharing any recordings wasn’t as easy as it is today; there were no social media platforms, YouTube, or Spotify. My only opportunities to present my material were with close friends or during student recitals, where everyone could share their art without any pressure.

Initially, I was hesitant to present what I came up with. Most musicians in my town played covers, so I was concerned about how anyone might react to my songs or interpret my actions. As a result, I ended up by singing covers in a band too. It was only later, with the encouragement of a few supportive friends, that we began incorporating some of my originals into our repertoire, often without much explanation to the audience.

Starting my solo project gave me more control over my work, and I gradually began to care less about what others thought. The turning point for me was when I stopped worrying about potential judgment and focused on creating something that felt authentic. That shift in mindset marked my commitment to pursuing a creative path professionally.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I believe the turning point for me was when I shifted from learning and playing covers to focusing on creating my own material. That’s when things started to feel more professional. I wouldn’t say I ever deliberately entered the music industry in the traditional sense. Instead, I see myself as a DIY artist, working alongside my drummer, Ged, and bassist, Vix, to create something peculiar and less predictable.

We’re an indie punk/alternative rock band, aiming to fulfil our need to leave a mark with our music.

Our goals are modest, allowing us to appreciate even the tiniest evolution and feel happy about it.
We don’t really set lofty expectations because it would change our approach. Fame and drastically altering our lives aren’t drivers for us, the focus remains on the craft itself and the joy it brings.


We’ve always consumed loads of music, not just for inspiration but also out of curiosity. Recently, with the number of songs we’ve collected, the next step is to keep improving our musicianship and refining our writing and production skills. Taking different directions from record to record isn’t something we shy away from; it’s actually satisfying to create a distinct sound from our usual work and difficult to compare to anything else. I definitely see an evolution from when we released our first full album “Unkind” to our recently released songs like “Stuck & Paralysed” and “Pixels in the Dark.”

Talking about accomplishments, we take great pride in how we’ve connected with people from all over the world. Most importantly, after so many years, we’re still three friends working together on something we love. Music has enriched our lives and made everything more interesting, and we’re grateful for every moment of this creative journey.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

I’ve always found music to be a way to cope with things that are hard to explain and the difficulties in life. It gives me access to a place where I can find peace of mind. The creative process has intrigued me since I was a kid, whether it’s combining different instruments, layering vocal tracks, experimenting with sounds, or writing lyrics as a way of painting ideas. I can’t think of anything else that entertains me the way music does. It’s like trespassing the world we know and ending up in a different territory where there’s more flexibility and freedom to structure the surroundings, as well as changing the way we see ourself.

The ability to arrange and balance all the sounds to complete a song is truly rewarding, especially when I compare it to when I didn’t have any means to record back in the day. I was overwhelmed by the number of ideas but could only hear the song in its raw form. I try not to dwell too long on the same creation to avoid losing perspective, so I usually start working on different projects at the same time. This can feel a bit frustrating on one hand, but now I understand that it is the way I function. I wouldn’t get the same enjoyment if I finished something and had nothing left to work on. Some ideas appear easier to translate into the form of a song; others are a bit more complicated and often need a music video to complete the overall message.

Being able to create and still have something to say and write about is probably the most rewarding thing, which also makes me feel more alive. Additionally, in today’s rapidly evolving music industry and technological landscape, being creative assumes even more importance. It allows to stand out and not end up doing what anyone else can easily achieve just by typing a few requests on a keyboard.
 So, the most rewarding aspect is the combination of expressing my inner world, finding peace, and continually challenging myself to create something unique and meaningful.


In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

There are several key steps society can take to better support artists and create a thriving creative ecosystem. First, providing accessible funding and affordable workspaces is crucial so that small artists can develop their talents without the constant burden of financial stress. Marketing is a significant issue for most independent artists, so supportive community networks and public recognition are always welcome to boost visibility and help musicians reach a broader audience.

The most challenging aspect for me as an artist, particularly at the beginning, was gaining a comprehensive understanding of the industry and finding a balance between presenting myself authentically without sacrificing professionalism. Therefore, education and training opportunities that cover both the artistic and business sides of being an artist can empower independent musicians to succeed on their own.

Additionally, mental health should not be underestimated, so providing resources to help artists manage the emotional and psychological pressures they face is essential. I had a very interesting chat about this topic with Lisa and Justine from the “Stereo Therapy Podcast”, which I highly recommend checking out.

Finally, encouraging a culture that values and supports creative endeavours is truly important. This can be achieved, for example, by creating more spaces and opportunities where DIY and independent artists can flourish, giving them the means they need to continually improve and engage with their public.
