My name is Ady, I am an acoustic singer/songwriter, I have been for almost fifteen years, but it is only recently I have decided to go down this path, believing from the response of others that I really do have something to offer. Recently finishing a demo, gigging, trying to raise my profile.

My music has been described as a .....compelling acoustic journey. My vocals are often described as....powerful, raw, emotive. You could find a hint of Dylan, Neil young, Damien Rice but basically I sound like me

BIOs


I was born at Scampton RAF base in Lincolnshire in the early 70's, but most of my childhood was centred in Devon, and my earliest memories are of Buckfastleigh. A beautiful part of the country, idyllic in concept, as for my childhood consisted of exploring, climbing tall oaks and building dens, amongst many things (luxuries those of us from city backgrounds can only dream of) and laying the foundations for the man I would become. But my youth wasn't as idyllic as the setting for it, and by 15 I was exploring again, only this time on a permanent basis, sleeping rough and finding shelter where he could.
In my late teens and early twenties consisted of a lot of travelling. It was during this period that I began playing the guitar and singing, busking my way around Europe, hitching/walking all the way to Africa, living in everything from tents to old pigeon houses in the south of France, and the caves of Granada, before returning home to England to stay.

Where, after a few dark years, I attention really turned to my music and i began not only playing and performing but also writing, though still more for my own sense of self than for others. It was this, and more, that encouraged an onlooker one day to offer me my first helping hand with my music (by way of a loan for P.A. equipment). And it was that first show of faith that also gave my the belief he had something worth sharing, which brings us to where we are today.
