Adam Mac

Adam Mac infuses his rural Kentucky roots with grit, soul and blues to create a sound that is uniquely his own. Tackling topics like equality and justice reform on his single “Black and White” may not seem like something you would expect from a typical male country artist, but that’s because he is anything but your typical male country artist. Born Adam Mcphaill in small-town Russellville, KY, he was raised on ‘90s country and gospel music, often being bribed by his mother to sing during Sunday service. His sound has also been heavily influenced by pop legends such as Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse, who changed the trajectory of his style and desire to perform. Mac had always had a love of words and poems growing up, but not until the passing of his best childhood friend at 18 did he learn the power of songwriting. It wasn’t long after that he packed up and moved to Nashville. Since living in Nashville, Mac has competed on American Idol, released an album and an ep, and written songs with the hitmakers of tomorrow.
