We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Adam Ford. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Adam below.
Adam, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
My most meaningful project is probably a song I recorded recently called “Alone In The Big City”. I wrote it about 10 years ago when I first moved to Nashville and didn’t know anyone at all. I wanted to write the most straightforward country song as possible and was listening to “Carryin’ On with Johnny Cash and June Carter” and aimed for that type raw country sound. I had no recording ability at that point. Fast forward to this year – I found the lyrics/chords while moving some stuff and decided to record it. It ended up coming out pretty well and I was pretty proud of the writing from so long ago.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m a songwriter, musician, and producer in that order. I got into songwriting as a 14 year old guitar player who was a terrible singer/player but loved it so much I dedicated all my time to improving those areas. I write and record all genres, from hiphop to gospel and just love music in general.
I’m no where near the level of ability I want to be, but I am proud of my work in that it’s been streaming in many different countries and provides passive income.
I’m open and willing to work with collaborators of all skill levels and genres.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
I remain bullish on Gamestop. (hey apes)
I do think they have interesting potential use cases for licensure and royalties, especially for musicians and visual artists.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
Just hearing someone identifies or enjoys one of my songs. I’ve always found solace in music and lyrics, so I love providing that for listeners.
