Once Adam discovered "Dirty Soul," he began to take interest in the greats such as Al Green and Sam Cooke, reconnecting with his Black roots. Currently, Adam and his wife reside in Minneapolis, and they're hoping to start a family of their own soon.If you could share a conversation with a seed before it becomes a tree would you speak of its future fruit or would it be all things right now?
