New SINGLES

We all know what it is like to play the Donkey Kong video games.  It is pure bliss.  The saying It’s On Like Donkey Kong has been a thing for years and now it’s finally a song!  Written by Adam DeGraide, Dameon Aranda and James Conner, this powerhouse track will certainly bring you to the place where “It’s On Like Donkey Kong”.

Imagine if Mr and Mrs Pac Man sang a funk rock duet? Well you can imagine no longer. In this single by the ADAM MUSIC PROJECT, we are blessed to have Pete Mitchell from No More Kings and Myra Beasley show us what it’s like to channel their inner Mr and Mrs Pac Man! The song was written by Adam and Neil DeGraide rips the solo!

WHAT IS THE A.D.A.M. MUSIC PROJECT?

A.D.A.M. stands for (Artists Developing Astonishing Music).  Founded by Adam DeGraide with the idea that collaboration is the one of the best ways to make music, A.D.A.M. was born. The project features many fantastic artists from various bands. The songs are inspired by video game characters from games both new and old. On the first 3 releases including the full length LP we focus exclusively on characters from the blockbuster Apex Legends. Using the characters from Adam’s favorite video game for inspiration would allow a ton of creativity that could inspire everything from the sound, melody and overall feel of the album. Wanting to make a pure ROCK album was the goal and the characters became the perfect subject matter in his opinion.  As Adam DeGraide says “this is the ultimate fan art project”. This album features over 25 different contributors from all walks of life.  The ages of the artists range from 19 to 51.  Variety is the spice of life and the A.D.A.M. MUSIC PROJECT delivers on that promise.  The project has also recently recording 12 new songs to be released throughout 2023 with songs about Bowser, Princess Peach, Jill Valentine (Resident Evil), Cloud (Final Fantasy 7), Joel (Last of Us) and so much more. We hope everyone enjoys what we are trying to do here.  Please be sure to “follow” us and subscribe on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, TikTok and others.  THANK YOU!
