bio

From the grand atrium of London's Natural History Museum to the humble confines of a Beirut flat; Adam Black has written, recorded and performed music all over the world. His broad eclecticism blooms from a life lived in motion, grounding his work in a charmful warmth and whimsy. Be it in the playful "pizz" of a violin or the vivid depths of an analogue synth, Adam has the ability to craft a curious, yet welcoming soundscape; familiar as home, with all the marvel of the unknown.

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Adam has worked and collaborated with filmmakers, advertisers, producers and other creatives across the globe. As a multi-instrumentalist Adam is available for session work; media composition; lyrics and everything in between.
