Adam Dollar$

BIO

Adam Dollars was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His upbringing was different. Growing up with the necessities, he calls “I didn’t have it all but didn’t go without”. Adam’s parents were divorced and as a result he was raised solely by his father. “My father was such a music head listening to everything across the spectrum it introduced to me such a wide range of sounds at a young age. We could switch from the Beatles to Bob Marley in a matter of minutes.” This stuck with the MC ever since.

“Music was always a big thing in my household…”, says Adam, “I’ve always enjoyed it as far as I can remember”. 2015 is when Adam decided to take music seriously. The up and coming MC’s first memory of music was hearing his uncle play NWA and Geto Boys off his stereo, while he visited his grandmother in the summertime. This contributed to his inspiration of musical inspirations such as Jay-Z and Nas.
“Sonically Jay and Nas music captures me but as I grew older and lived my own life experiences it resonated more because they spoke more of the emotions of dealing with the climate, they were in rather than exposing all the actions”.

Classifying his sound as non-fiction, Adam’s music is big on storytelling, heavy sampling and sonically bringing out the emotion of the lyrics – almost like soundtrack music. When thinking about his sound and where it might lend itself, he dreams of getting a verse from Jay-Z or Nas. This isn’t far off as the Louisiana native has had two solo projects independently chart in the top 15 on iTunes Hip Hop/Rap Charts and opened for iconic talent such as, Nipsy Hussle, The Lox, DMX, Mystikal , Mannie Fresh and others.

With lofty dreams of winning a Grammy, Adam Dollars looks forward to releasing new music that will further solidify him as one to watch.
