I’m real. And let’s not pretend this isn’t me writing this.

Adam Black. Not the most interesting name, but it’s been getting me from A to B for the last nearly four decades.

I’ve been writing and performing music since the single digits. My mum can verify that the quality has only improved over the years. [insert cute pic of Mumma]

I studied in Oxford, graduating with my degree in music composition and performance in 2011. From the grand atrium of London's Natural History Museum to the humble confines of a Beirut flat, I’ve written, recorded and performed music all over the world.

As a multi-instrumentalist with a grounding in ethnomusicology I believe music to be as diverse and rich a language as any other. Wielding a rich eclecticism, my passion is in weaving a depth of harmony that tells each unique story.

Over the years I’ve partnered in different capacities with companies such as the BBC, Spitfire Audio, Universal Audio and Westwood Instruments. As a composer for film I have earned industry recognition, including Two Medicine, winner of the Big Sky Award at the 2025 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, alongside two nominations at the International Motor Film Awards.

As a session musician I have featured on multiple albums on multiple instruments including banjo, guitar, piano and more. I’ve worked with studios and musicians across the globe, collaborating on projects as a songwriter, lyricist, producer, arranger, composer and score editor.

So whatever you’re making, let’s make it noteworthy. Get in touch!
