Adam Swink

When he was 12 years old, Adam gave up his Play Station for an M Audio keyboard. He plugged it into his Mac and he hasn't come up for air since then. Originally drawn to hip hop, he spent a year working on hip hop beats but made the switch to pop after hanging with and learning from some of DC's best pop/rock musicians. His emotive, alternative pop singer/songwriter style is quickly catching the attention of a fast-growing fan base. In 2006 when he was 15, he released his first EP and one year later, he won 1st place in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest (young artist award). Adam released his second EP, "Seasonal Delivery," in June of 2008 at the age of 17. Adam was also a regional finalist in this year's Mountain Stage New Song Contest (Young Artist Category).
