About Arthur Adam (Enschede, The Netherlands, 1980): A singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has a reputation for being talented, stubborn and unmarketable. He has released 4 albums and 4 EP’s with repertoire ranging from punk-pop-with-prog-rhythms, a capella jazz pop, soundscapes, rock, indie pop, and delicate small songs (like on Other life forms). But he’s not totally unpredictable: his songs are well-crafted, melancholic, and übermelodic while avoiding as many clichés as possible. His lyrics tend to be contemplative, and his voice has been compared to heroes like Jeff Buckley, Freddie Mercury and Thom Yorke. And in the tradition of heroes like Stevie Wonder, Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver, he usually plays most of the instruments on his records himself.
