Adam Masterson

Adam Masterson (born 1980) is a musician from West London. Masterson is currently unsigned. Originally on the BMG label he was dropped when BMG merged with Sony.

Signed to Gravity/BMG, the 22 year old cites his influences as Van Morrison, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. He released his debut album 'One Tale Too Many' in July 2003, which if his gig at the Liverpool Academy last October is anything to go by, comes with a high recommendation.

At 22 years old, you wouldn't expect an artist like Adam Masterson to come out with such a mature sounding album as this, his debut. When his teenage friends were enjoying the Britpop scene, he was discovering the classics of Dylan, Young and Springsteen.

After six years of writing songs and recording demos, he has found a home at Nick Stewart's (the man who signed U2) Gravity label. The influences listed in the press release may be American, but there is a jazzy, folksy, Celtic flavour to a lot of the songs here that bring to mind Van Morrison or the Waterboys.

Currently Adam is living in New York City, he is unsigned at the moment, and about to start playing as many gigs as possible to gain exposure inside the United States.
